The new moon is commonly referred to as “Amavasya” or “Thasi” in manipuri.  Amavasya, which translates to “no moon” or “new moon,” marks the beginning of a new lunar month in the Hindu calendar. It occurs when the moon is not visible in the night sky due to its alignment with the sun, resulting in the absence of moonlight.

Amavasya holds significant spiritual and religious significance in Hinduism and is considered an auspicious day for various rituals, prayers, and observances. It is believed that the energy of the new moon amplifies the effects of spiritual practices and can facilitate inner growth, purification, and transformation.

On Amavasya, devotees may perform special rituals and ceremonies to honor their ancestors (Pitru Tarpan) and seek their blessings and guidance. It is also a time for introspection, meditation, and self-reflection, as individuals contemplate their actions, thoughts, and aspirations.

While Amavasya is primarily associated with spiritual practices and observances, it is also considered a time for rejuvenation and renewal. Many people choose to fast or abstain from certain activities on Amavasya as a way of cleansing the body and mind and attuning themselves to the rhythms of nature.

Overall, Amavasya holds a special place in Hindu mythology and culture, serving as a reminder of the cyclical nature of time, the impermanence of life, and the opportunity for spiritual growth and evolution with each new lunar cycle.
