Jyeshtha Amavasya takes place in the third month, according to the Hindu calendar. According to the Gregorian calendar, this is usually in the month of May or June. Jyestha Amavasya is observed every year. This year, Jyeshtha Amavasya falls on June 6, 2024. Jyeshtha Amavasya is considered to be a fresh start after the previous lunar month ends. During Amavasya, the moon disappears from the night sky. Hence, it is also known as the no-moon night. This day is very important in many cultures and religions, especially for honouring ancestors. The Jyeshtha Amavasya occurs simultaneously with the birthday of Shani Dev, the God of Justice. On this day, people perform various rituals and practices, which often involve worshipping Shani Dev, our ancestors, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Parvati. Happy Vat Savitri Greetings & Vat Purnima HD Wallpapers: Share SMS, Messages, Wishes, Photos and Quotes With Your Loved Ones.

Jyeshtha Amavasya History and Significance

Jyeshtha Amavasya is a special day for two reasons. The first reason is Shani Jayanti. On Jyeshtha Amavasya, devotees also celebrate the birthday of Shani Dev, the Hindu god of justice (often referred to as Shani Maharaj). Devotees worship him on this day, hoping to please him and gain his blessings. Jyestha Amavasya is also special because married women observe it diligently. According to Hindu beliefs, Savitri, a devoted wife, used her love and prayers to bring her husband Satyavan back from death. To honour this act of love and devotion, married women worship Lord Shiva, Parvati, and the banyan tree on Jyeshtha Amavasya.

This Jyeshtha Amavasya 2024 offers a chance to celebrate both justice and devotion. Whether you pray to Lord Shani Dev for blessings or simply honour the power of love, this day allows you to connect with your faith and traditions.
