Bhootdi Amavasya 2025: The Dark Night of Spirits - Rituals and Remedies to Stay Safe

Chaitra Amavasya: Bhootdi Amavasya, is said to be one of the most mysterious and feared nights of Hinduism. This night is also said to be the time when the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world is thin. This enables negative forces to walk freely.

In Hinduism, both Purnima (Full Moon) and Amavasya (New Moon) are spiritually important. Purnima is a time to celebrate positivity and divine energy. Amavasya, however, is often linked to negative forces and energies. Bhootdi Amavasya is the most enigmatic and powerful of all Amavasyas. It occurs during the month of Chaitra, renowned for supernatural happenings and roaming spirits. Bhootdi Amavasya is coming up in 2025, and here's what you need to know about its significance, beliefs related to the day, and the rituals to protect against negative energies.

In 2025, Bhootdi Amavasya will start on March 28 at 7:55 PM and end on March 29 at 4:27 PM. The Udaya Tithi, the time when the date is considered valid according to the Hindu calendar, will be on March 29. This night is believed to be very powerful and has a strong spiritual impact. People perform various rituals and remedies to seek protection and blessings.

Why is Chaitra Amavasya Called Bhootdi Amavasya?

The name Bhootdi Amavasya comes from ancient Hindu beliefs. It is said that on this night, the barrier between the physical world and the spiritual world is very thin. This lets spirits, wandering souls, and dark forces move freely on Earth. People believe that restless souls, looking to fulfill unfinished desires or cause trouble, become most active during this time.

According to spiritualists and astrologers, demonic entities are attracted to the physical realm on Bhootdi Amavasya. These spirits may invade people’s lives, especially vulnerable people, or those who have failed to resolve issues. In October 2023, dark forces are said to try to cling to our species, wanting to manifest their will, desires, chaos. This is why Bhootdi Amavasya is known as the darkest night of the year, filled with strong supernatural energy.
