In May 2025, Jyeshtha Amavasya will span two days. May 26, Monday, will be Shraddha Amavasya, and May 27, Tuesday, will be Snan Daan Amavasya. Because Amavasya Tithi is Suryodayavyapini on May 27, Shani Jayanti will also be celebrated on this day. It is believed that Lord Shani was born on this day. Worshiping Lord Shani on this day brings special blessings.
Vat Savitri Vrat also falls in this month
Vat Savitri Vrat holds special significance in Hindu scriptures. This fast is associated with Satyavan and Savitri. Savitri was a devoted wife who brought her husband Satyavan back from the clutches of death. Observing this fast blesses women with a long and happy married life.
