What is Amavasya Tarpanam?
Amavasya Tarpanam is the monthly offering of water mixed with sesame to the ancestors on the new-moon day. It is the simplest pitru karya and is done by those whose father has passed away.
Amavasya is the day sacred to the pitrus. Offering tarpana with til (black sesame) and darbha on this day keeps the ancestors satisfied and the family free of pitru dosha.
