AmavasyaNo-Moon Day is one of the most spiritually important days in the Hindu calendar. This is the time of powerful energy change, which is ideal for honoring our ancestors and engaging in introspection, prayer and purification. This year, Jyeshtha Amavasya falls on May 26, 2025, and brings a rare convergence of three deep sacred observations with him- Amavasya, Vat Savitri Vrat, and Shani Jayati.
This cosmic trio increases the spiritual significance of the day and provides a rare opportunity for seekers, devotees and families to align with high spiritual practices, ancestral worship and the treatment of planets.

Vata Savitri Vrat 2025: A fasting ritual of love and devotion
Falling on Jyeshtha Amavasya, VAT Savitri fast is one of the most meaningful fasts seen by married Hindu women. They worship Banyan (VAT) tree and pray for their husband’s health, prosperity and long life.
Women wear clothes in traditional dress, tie threads around the Vata tree, and listen to the story of Savitri and Satyavan, a story that also kills death of a wife’s devotion and power of love. This fast is celebrated with full devotion in states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana and Punjab.
Shani Jayanti 2025: The Birth of Lord of Karma
Jyeshtha Amavasya is also the birth anniversary of Lord Shani, which is known as Shani Jayati. As the planet God of justice and karma, Shani Dev plays an important role in Hindu astrology. Born in the shadow of Lord Surya and Mother, Saturn is both fear and revered.
On this day, the devotees worshiped Shani Dev to reduce the influences of Shani Devash, bad deeds, and took his blessings for justice and spiritual development.
