Thai Amavasya is the no moon day in the Tamil Month of Thai (January – February). Thai Amavasai is dedicated to dead ancestors, siblings, parents and other relatives. Thai Amavasya 2017 date is Friday, January 27. Special prayers, rituals and offerings are made on the day for departed souls to rest in peace.



In Tamil Nadu, Hindus take a holy bath in one of the sacred water bodies. Shradh and Tarpan are offered. There is a popular belief that on Thai Amavasi day the souls of the dead visit to bless their relations on the earth. The rituals and other pujas are performed on riverbanks or on seashores. The day is of great significance at the Rameshwaram Sri Ramanatha Swamy Temple.
