Paush Amavasya 2025 Date: Paush Amavasya is the last new moon of this year. The last new moon of the year will fall on the Paush Krishna Amavasya date. Is the last new moon of the year on December 19th or December 20th? This question arises because the date of the last new moon of the year falls on both days. Consequently, people are confused about the correct date of Paush Amavasya. To resolve this, you will need to consult the Panchang. Let us find out the correct date of Paush Amavasya, the auspicious time for bathing and donating, and the time for Shraddha.
What is the correct date of Paush Amavasya?
According to the Druk Panchang, the date of Paush Amavasya begins at 4:59 AM on December 19th and will continue until 7:12 AM on December 20th. Now, on December 20th, the Paush Amavasya Tithi is for three minutes after sunrise, i.e., after 7:09 AM. The Paush Amavasya Tithi is available for three minutes during the Udaya Tithi. So, how will you be able to bathe, donate, and perform Shraddha for the ancestors?
On December 19th, the Paush Amavasya Tithi is from sunrise at 7:09 AM until the end of the day. The Paush Amavasya Tithi will be prevalent throughout the day on December 19th, allowing everyone to bathe, donate, perform Tarpan, and perform Shraddha for the ancestors. Therefore, it would be best to celebrate Paush Amavasya on December 19th.
Auspicious Time for Paush Amavasya
For those who need to bathe and donate on Paush Amavasya, the Brahma Muhurta is from 5:19 AM to 6:14 AM. During this time, you can donate after bathing. However, after Brahma Muhurta, from 7:09 AM to 11:01 AM, the auspicious time for bathing and donating is considered auspicious.
The auspicious Chaughadiya Muhurta on Paush Amavasya includes the Chara-Samanya Muhurta from 7:09 AM to 8:26 AM, followed by the Labh-Unnati Muhurta from 8:26 AM to 9:43 AM, and the Amrit-Sarvottam Muhurta from 9:43 AM to 11:01 AM.
Auspicious Time for Paush Amavasya

Time for Shraddha on Paush Amavasya
On Paush Amavasya, after bathing, people remember their ancestors and make donations for them. Donations include food, white clothes, fruits, etc. On Amavasya, ancestors return to earth from the ancestral world, so Shraddha, Pind Daan, and Tarpan are performed to satisfy them. Those who wish to perform Shraddha rituals for their ancestors on Paush Amavasya can do so between 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM.
Light a lamp for the ancestors
To relieve Pitru Dosha, you can perform Panchbali on the last Amavasya of the year. On the evening of Amavasya, light a lamp for the ancestors in the south direction outside the house. This keeps the path of the ancestors clear of darkness. When the ancestors return in the evening, they are happy to see light on the path.
