Phalguna Amavasya, the sacred new moon day of the Phalguna month, will be observed on Wednesday, 18 February 2026. Revered across India for its spiritual depth, this day is dedicated to ancestral worship, purification rituals, and acts of charity. Scriptures describe it as a powerful occasion when prayers and offerings reach departed souls, ensuring peace for ancestors and blessings for their descendants.
Beyond rituals, Phalguna Amavasya is also a time to embrace compassion and seva, reminding us that true devotion lies in serving humanity. For devotees, it is an opportunity to honor tradition while extending kindness through meaningful acts of charity with organizations like Narayan Seva Sansthan, embodying this spirit by serving meals to those in need, ensuring that charity becomes a living tribute to ancestors.
Phalguna Amavasya will be observed on Wednesday, 18 February 2026. This sacred new moon day is dedicated to ancestral worship, purification rituals, and charity. It is believed that prayers and offerings performed on this day bring peace to departed souls and blessings to their descendants. Food donation, in particular, is considered one of the most impactful forms of charity, as it directly alleviates hunger and spreads joy.
On this day, devotees perform Pitru Tarpan and Shraddha rituals, offering water, food, and prayers to ancestors. Chanting mantras, meditating, and lighting diyas are common practices. Scriptures emphasize that performing puja vidhi with devotion ensures spiritual cleansing and divine blessings. Alongside these rituals, preparing and serving meals to the poor is seen as an extension of ancestral offerings.
Charity, or daan, is considered especially auspicious on Amavasya, and among all forms of giving, donation of food holds the highest place. Feeding the hungry is believed to multiply spiritual merit and is seen as a way to honor ancestors. On Phalguna Amavasya, devotees can express gratitude by ensuring that no one sleeps hungry, turning remembrance into nourishment and blessings.
Narayan Seva Sansthan channels the spirit of seva into action by organizing food donation drives for the underprivileged. Through daily meal services, special feeding programs, and community kitchens, the organization ensures that thousands of needy individuals receive wholesome meals. Donors can dedicate their food donations to ancestors, merging spiritual tradition with humanitarian impact.
Devotees can perform rituals at home or temples and extend their devotion through charity. Supporting Narayan Seva Sansthan by sponsoring surgeries, contributing to artificial limb distribution, or funding vocational training ensures long-term empowerment.
The first Surya Grahan of 2026 will occur on 17 February, just ahead of Phalguna Amavasya on 18 February. This annular solar eclipse begins at 3:26 PM and ends at 7:57 PM IST, amplifying the spiritual energy surrounding Amavasya. Traditionally, eclipses are seen as powerful moments for introspection, purification, and prayer. When combined with Amavasya, they offer a unique opportunity to perform daan (charity)—especially anna daan (food donation)—to cleanse karmic debts and honor ancestors through compassionate service.
Phalguna Amavasya 2026 is not only about rituals but also about transforming remembrance into service. By supporting Narayan Seva Sansthan, devotees honor ancestors while uplifting lives today. True shraddha lies in seva—where blessings flow from both the departed and the living.
Ekadashi Tithi has special significance in Sanatan Dharma. Every Ekadashi is considered best for the worship of Lord Vishnu. Vijaya Ekadashi, which falls in the Shukla Paksha of the month of Falgun, is considered to provide victory and success in life as per its name.
