Just 3 Days to Go: Bhaumvati Amavasya 2026 Brings Rare Chance for Ancestral Blessings and Debt Relief
With only three days remaining, Hindu devotees across India are preparing for Bhaumvati Amavasya 2026 on Tuesday, February 17. This special Amavasya falling on a Tuesday is considered highly auspicious in the Hindu calendar for performing Pitru Daan and seeking blessings from ancestors.
According to the Panchang, this Bhaumvati Amavasya date is particularly powerful because it combines the dark moon phase with the energy of Mars (Mangal). Many believe it helps remove financial obstacles and Mangal Dosh from the kundli.

Why Bhaumvati Amavasya is So Special
In Hindu scriptures, Amavasya is the day to honor pitrs (ancestors). When it falls on Tuesday, it becomes Bhaumvati Amavasya – also called Bhaumya or Bhomvati Amavasya. Ancient texts say this day is extra rewarding for charity, tarpan, and remedies for Mars-related problems.
People facing Mangal Dosh, delays in marriage, or money issues are especially encouraged to observe this day. Mars is known as “Rina Harta” – the remover of debts – so performing daan on this Tuesday Amavasya is believed to bring quick relief from financial troubles.
Simple Rituals You Can Do on Bhaumvati Amavasya 2026
Here’s what devotees traditionally do:
- Holy Bath: Wake up early and take a dip in a river or at home with Ganga jal. This is said to wash away sins and sorrows.
- Pitru Tarpan & Shraddha: Offer water, black sesame, and barley to ancestors while chanting their names. Feed Brahmins or the needy.
- Worship Lord Mars: Recite the Mangal Rina Harta Stotra followed by Navgrah Shanti Hawan for relief from debt and Mangal Dosh.
- Charity: Donate red items like wheat, jaggery, copper utensils, or clothes to the poor. Even small donations on this day are considered very fruitful.
- Fast (Optional): Many observe a simple fast and break it after sunset. It is believed to free one from Pitru Dosh.
- Peepal Tree Puja: In some regions, people worship Lord Vishnu and the Peepal tree together.
