What to do on Amavasya
Offer water and black sesame (til tarpan) to the ancestors, feed a cow, a dog or a person in need, and light a lamp of sesame oil under a Peepal tree in the evening. Many families avoid starting new ventures on Amavasya and use the day for prayer, fasting and reflection instead; plan launches for the bright half of the month.
