Chaitra Amavasya marks the first Amavasya of the year as per the Hindu Calendar. Therefore, it holds great significance in the context of religious rituals with people commemorating this day to honour the past and welcome the future.
People express gratitude to their ancestors, whose knowledge and experience form the basis of who they are today. Families carry out customs and do charity in order to receive abundant blessings from their forefathers.
In fact, feeding people on Chaitra Amavasya is considered one of the most noble charitable deeds.
