The Darsha Amavasya of Margashirsha is today, Wednesday, November 19th. Each month's Amavasya is unique. The Darsha Amavasya, or Margashirsha Amavasya, falling in the month of Margashirsha, is particularly special because it is associated with the ancestors. It is believed that if ancestors are restless or need to perform Tarpan (offerings) to appease them, there is no better day than Darsha Amavasya. On the occasion of Darsha Amavasya, you must make five donations to relieve the ancestral curse.

Donations to Relieve Pitru Dosha

On Darsha Amavasya, it is considered auspicious to donate in the name of ancestors and feed the poor. To relieve Pitru Dosha, worship Lord Vishnu and the ancestors on Darsha Amavasya, and then donate wheat, rice, and black sesame seeds in their name. It is believed that donating these items appeases the ancestors and showers blessings on the family.

On Darsha Amavasya, one should bathe in a holy river in the morning. If bathing in a river is not possible, mix river water in a bucket at home. While bathing, meditate on your ancestors. This pleases the ancestors. Donating whole urad dal and a blanket is also auspicious. This helps the ancestors remain happy and content in their place. The negative effects of Rahu and Ketu are also reduced.

The Importance of Feeding Birds
Feeding birds on the day of Darsha Amavasya is considered very auspicious. Religious belief holds that ancestors come in the form of birds and accept the food. Doing so brings peace to the ancestors. Furthermore, offering prayers to the ancestors on Amavasya is also recommended. With the blessings of the ancestors, the family remains happy, career success is achieved, and the lineage also grows.
