Hariyali Amavasya 2025 date: Is it on July 24 or 25? Know exact date, timings & more
Hariyali Amavasya is one of the most spiritual days celebrated during the month of Sawan (Shravan), which is considered highly auspicious for Lord Shiva devotees. This day falls during the Krishna Paksha, or the waning phase of the moon, and holds great significance in Hindu tradition. Devotees worship Lord Shiva and also perform rituals to honour their ancestors.
Let's explore the Hariyali Amavasya 2025 date, exact timings, important yogas, and why this day is special.
What is Hariyali Amavasya and Why is it Celebrated?
Hariyali Amavasya is observed on the day following Trayodashi Tithi (13th lunar day) in the Krishna Paksha of Sawan month. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva, also known as Bholenath and Mahadev, the protector and destroyer of evil. On this holy day, people worship Lord Shiva with special prayers and rituals. Many devotees also observe fasts and offer prayers at temples.
In addition to Shiva puja, people perform Tarpan (offering water) and Pind Daan (rituals for departed souls) to bring peace to the spirits of their ancestors. It is believed that performing these rites brings blessings, prosperity, and peace in one's life.

Why is Shraddh Performed on Amavasya?
While most people wait for Pitru Paksha to perform rituals for their ancestors, very few know that every Amavasya is considered sacred for Shraddh and Pind Daan. According to Hindu beliefs, ancestors visit the Earth on Amavasya and wait for offerings from their descendants.
Offering water or food on this day satisfies them and helps bring peace to their souls. As mentioned in the Skanda Purana, performing Shraddh on Amavasya pleases the ancestors for an entire month. When performed during Pitru Paksha on the exact death date, the soul remains satisfied for a year.
Avoiding these rituals may lead to a lack of happiness and wealth. That's why elders recommend performing Shraddh on every Amavasya, and especially on days like solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, Vishuv Yoga, and Sankranti. It is also beneficial to do these rites during Krishna Paksha under auspicious stars like Ardra, Magha, and Rohini.
