Do not do these things today on Somvati Amavasya, ancestors and Lord Shiva get angry.

Amavasya date is considered very important in Hindu religion. On this date, bathing is done and Tarpan and Pind Daan are done for the ancestors. Besides, the importance of worshiping Lord Shiva also increases on Amavasya falling on Monday.

Somvati Amavasya of Paush month has been given special significance in the scriptures. It is believed that by doing virtuous deeds like bathing and charity on this day, the seeker attains salvation and Pitra Dosha is removed. But along with this, doing some work on Amavasya Tithi is also prohibited. Let us know what should not be done on the day of Amavasya.

On Amavasya Tithi, Tarpan, Pind Daan etc. are done for the peace of the souls of the ancestors. Therefore, one should not speak ill of ancestors on this day. Do not do any auspicious work on Amavasya. By doing this the ancestors get angry.

Animals like dog, cow, crow should not be troubled on Amavasya day. Rather, they should be offered food considering it as part of the ancestors.

One should not eat tamasic food on Somvati Amavasya. Along with meat and alcohol, things like radish, greens and lentils should also not be eaten on Amavasya. By consuming these things and performing puja, one does not get the results of the puja.

One should avoid washing hair on Amavasya Tithi. Also, work like cutting hair, nails etc. should not be done on this day. Doing this can have the effect of negative energy.
