Significance of Pithori Amavasya

Pithori Amavasya holds great significance, especially for mothers who observe this vrat (fast) to seek blessings for the long life, health, and prosperity of their children. The vrat is dedicated to Goddess Pithori, who is believed to be a collective manifestation of 64 Goddesses. It is said that by worshiping these deities on this day, mothers can ensure the well-being of their offspring and protect them from evil forces.

The rituals of Pithori Amavasya often involve making small figures of the 64 Goddesses from flour, which are then worshiped with offerings of fruits, sweets, and other traditional items. Devotees also perform tarpan (a ritual of offering water) to their ancestors, seeking their blessings on this auspicious day.
