Some of these are:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">1. Story of Satyavan and Savitri<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Savitri was the princess of Madra who married an exiled prince, Satyavan, who was prophesied to die early. Despite knowing this, Savitri marries the prince, and they start to live a humble life. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">On the day of Vaishakha Amavasya, Savitri\u2019s husband collapses on her lap, cutting wood in a forest. Yama Raj (Lord of Death) arrives to take his soul away. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">To this, Savitri praises the importance of virtues and Dharma. Listening to her, Yama gets impressed, gives Savitri a boon, and saves Satyavan\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">2. Lord Vishnu\u2019s turn<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0into Tulsi Plant<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Once lived a demon named Jalandhar, who acquired immortality. It was Lord Vishnu\u2019s wife who granted him immortality. In the disguise of Jalandhar, Lord Vishnu deluded his wife to lessen the demon&#8217;s power. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">After this, Jalandhar became weak and lost his powers, and Lord Shiva killed him. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Lord Vishnu\u2019s wife learned about this. She cursed him to turn into a Tulsi plant on the day of Vaishakh Amavasya. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">However, Vishnu blessed her and said she would always be precious to him. This is why the sacred plant Tulsi has been worshipped in Hindu homes for ages.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">3. Story of Pind Daan of Dharmavarna\u2019s Child<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Dharmavarna was a Brahmin who heard that in the Kaliyuga, remembering the name of Hari would be the greatest virtue. After listening, he left his material life and reached Pitru Loka. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">He got upset when he reached the place where he saw his ancestors living in the worst conditions. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">His ancestors advised him to start a family and told him that <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Dharmvarna\u2019s child should perform pind daan for them. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Dharmavarna followed their advice and did what they said. He started a family life, performed the pind daan on Vaishakha Amavasya, and his ancestors attained liberation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Significance of Vaishakh Amavasya<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">This is the day we perform the pitru puja rituals and remember our ancestors. People offer their ancestors water, sweets and other eatables that their ancestors loved. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">After eating the food and satisfying their hunger, they can travel to another world. They will eat to satisfy their hunger, they bless us, and we can eliminate all kinds of negative energies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Also Read: <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/blog\/magha-purnima\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Magha Purnima 2026: A Key to Fortune and Happiness<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Rituals of Shani Amavasya<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Before starting the puja rituals, you should clean your room.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Ensure you have everything required in the puja, including incense sticks, diyas, fruits, etc.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Don\u2019t forget to plant trees on this day.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">You can wash your sins in holy rivers.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Start the puja by worshipping Lord Ganesha at the beginning<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Recite Vishnu Saharshanaram and Shani Stotra.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Remember to meditate on this day.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Take Ganga water, panchamrit, and oil to wash Shani Dev&#8217;s feet.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Offer Shani Dev a Navaratna haar.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s good to donate black-coloured items on this day.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Perform aarti in front of the deities by chanting their names.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Distribute the prasad to your family members.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Do\u2019s and Dont\u2019s of Vaishakh Amavasya<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">On this day, we should bathe in a holy river for purification.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">We should not perform activities like marriage, purchasing or selling property or vehicles, etc.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">People should light lamps to mark the completion of the puja.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">You should not cut hair or nails on this day.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">We should donate things to poor people.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">One should avoid bad gossip and arguments that day.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">We should only eat vegetarian meals on this day.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Avoid offending your ancestors, as this can lead to the welcome of problems in your life.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">We should not pluck Tulsi leaves on Vaishakha Amavasya.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">We should worship the peepal tree.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Alcohol should not be consumed.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">You should not purchase food grains on this day.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><div class=\"custom-faq\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"> <div class=\"faq-item\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"faq-question\"><h4 class=\"faq-question-heading\" itemprop=\"name\">1.
