Amavasya Puja Vidhi

Take a bath and wear clean clothes before starting the puja.
Sit facing East or North in a calm and clean place.
Light a diya (oil lamp) and incense sticks.
Place flowers, fruits, rice grains, and water near the deity or photo of Lord Shiva or Goddess Lakshmi.

First, take a Sankalp (vow) in your heart to perform the puja with devotion.

Chant “Om Gan Ganapataye Namah” to remove obstacles.

Offer water or milk to Lord Shiva and chant “Om Namah Shivaya.”

For Pitru Tarpan, face South and offer water mixed with black sesame seeds while remembering your ancestors.

Chant “Om Pitṛbhyo Namah” or “Om Swadha Namah.”

After that, pray to Goddess Lakshmi for peace and prosperity by chanting “Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah.”

End the puja with a silent prayer for the well-being of everyone.

Happy Amavasya
Om Namah Shivaya 🙏
