Let’s talk about every Amavasya date in 2022 and its associated significance.
Talking about the Hindu Panchang, the months of December and January are called the months of Paush, and therefore, the Amavasya falling during this period is known as Paush Amavasya. As per New Moon 2022 Calendar, it is falling on January 02, 2022, i.e. Sunday. It is believed that any spiritual task commenced on this day is very fruitful. In addition to this, performing Puja for the peace of ancestors and offering food to the needy in their names helps you get rid of Pitra Dosha in your Kundli. Also, the day of Paush Amavasya is considered to be auspicious for getting the blessings of ancestors. Not only this, some other major Doshas like Kaal Sarpa Dosha and unfavourable effects of Rahu & Ketu are also eradicated by observing fast on this very day. Apart from this, if you offer water to the Sun, all sorts of troubles in your life will be overcome and you remain under the shadow of his grace.
Let’s talk about Mauni Amavasya which is also known as Magha Amavasya at certain places. In the light of Hindu religious beliefs, Magha is considered a very auspicious month and thus, the Amavasya that falls during this month is known as Mauni/Magha Amavasya. The day of Magha Amavasya is also important for taking a bath, giving donations, performing worship, etc. Amavasya 2022 calendar reveals that this date is going to fall on February 01, 2022, i.e. Tuesday.
During the month of Magha, taking a bath in holy rivers and performing meditation is given great importance as it brings peace and prosperity and rids a person of all kinds of sins, sorrows, and sufferings. Besides this, the water of Ganga turns into nectar by the auspicious conjunction on the day of Mauni Amavasya, and therefore, people from far-off places come to take a bath in Ganga and pray for getting rid of their past and present sins.
There is also a belief associated with this day that our ancestors descend on earth and shower their blessings. In this regard, if one worships and does some good deeds, it proves very fruitful. On the day of Mauni Amavasya, performing worship, reciting Mantras, giving donations, etc. has got special importance.
The word Maun in Mauni Amavasya stands for silence and therefore, people observe fast and meditate without uttering a word (by observing silence). In addition to this, the significance of this day enhances manifold if it falls during the auspicious period of Kumbh Mela. During the Kumbh, people take bath in Triveni Sangam and are blessed with peace, prosperity, and good health.

In such a scenario, taking a bath in a holy river helps a person get rid of sins and all of their desires are fulfilled.
As per prevailing beliefs associated with Amavasya, it is said that no auspicious work is carried out as the Moon is not visible. Now, the question arises if the day is inauspicious. Let’s try to find its answers. On one hand, Amavasya Tithi has a special significance as all the Doshas in the Kundli are eradicated by taking a bath in a sacred river, giving donations, and performing worship while on the other, negative vibes remain highly active and there is a great influence of black magic during the darkness of night and therefore, majority of people worship Lord Shiva and Maa Kali to protect their family. Besides this, it is also believed that if one observes fast and performs worship, all their desires are fulfilled. In this regard, it is difficult to decide whether the day of Amavasya is auspicious or inauspicious. It is also advised not to travel during the night of Amavasya as there is a possibility of mishaps due to lack of light. In reality, we may state that the day of Amavasya is auspicious as many festivals like Diwali, etc. are also celebrated on the night of this very day.
