Thai Amavasai

Thai Amavasya is the no moon day in the Tamil Month of Thai (January – February). This is also the first Amavasi of Utharayanam (the period when Sun moves Northwards). On this day, hundreds of people pay homage to their ancestors. Thai Amavasai is special for Thithi and Tharpanam. Several devotees will observe fasting and have only one meal on this day.
