Pithori Amavasya in 2026 falls on Thursday, September 10, with Amavasya Tithi extending into the next day. This observance is significant for family well-being and honoring departed ancestors through various rituals. Donations of food, black sesame, clothes, and grains are traditional practices during this time. Offering water with black sesame and lighting a diya are simple yet meaningful ancestral remembrance acts.
