Vaishakha Amavasya

Vaishakha is the second month of Hindu Year. According to religious beliefs, Treta Era (Yuga) began from this month. This increases the religious importance of Vaishakha Amavasya tenfold. Performing religious activities, bathing, charity and Pitru Tarpan is considered highly auspicious on this day. Astrological remedies are also performed on this Amavasya to get free from Kaal Sarp Dosha. On the same day, Shani Jayanti is celebrated in South India.
