Pithori Amavasya 2025 will be observed on Friday, August 22, 2025. It is a sacred day in Hindu religion dedicated to worshipping and seeking blessings from ancestors and deities for family well-being. This year, the Pithori Amavasya begins on Friday, August 22, 2025.
According to the Hindu Panchang, the Pithori Amavasya Tithi begins at 11:55 AM on August 22 and will end at 11:35 AM on August 23. The day holds deep cultural and religious significance, particularly for women who observe the Pithori Vrat for the prosperity and longevity of their children.
Pithori Amavasya Date and Time
On this day, devotees wake up early, take a holy bath, and perform rituals to honor their ancestors (Pitru tarpan). Women observing the vrat worship Goddess Durga in her Pithori form, often depicted with 64 Yoginis, symbolizing protection and strength. Special pujas are performed at home or in temples, and offerings of fruits, sweets, and grains are made.
Many households also prepare traditional food items and feed Brahmins or the needy as a part of the ritual, believed to bring blessings of health, prosperity, and happiness to the family.
Pithori Amavasya Significance
The day is associated with ancestral worship and maternal blessings. Observing the vrat is believed to protect children from negativity and ensure their good fortune. It also emphasizes the importance of family harmony and the continuation of traditions across generations.
In several regions of North India, the vrat is especially popular among mothers, who pray for the well-being of their offspring and the overall happiness of the household.
As Pithori Amavasya 2025 arrives, devotees prepare to immerse themselves in prayers and rituals that connect faith, family, and tradition.
