Hariyali Amavasya 2025: Don’t Miss These Auspicious Timings for Snan, Daan & Rituals

Hariyali Amavasya is also referred to as Shravan Amavasya. In Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism), it marks an important day which holds deep spiritual significance. Many devotees honor this day with worship.

As stated earlier, the date is also termed Shravan Amavasya. Adding to its importance is the fact that it coincides with the month of Sawan, a time of ritualistic veneration of the Lord Shiva. Thus, this year, Hariyali Amavasya will be observed on July 24 and is expected to fall on a Thursday. Drik Panchang notes that Amavasya Tithi begins at 2:28 AM on July 24 and ends at 12:40 PM on July 25.

What Makes Hariyali Amavasya Special?

Hariyali Amavasya is very important in Sanatan Dharma. On this day, devotees do special religious activities like Snan (ritual bathing), Daan (giving charity), Tarpan, and Pind Daan for their ancestors. People believe that these rituals bring peace to the souls of those who have passed away. They also bring blessings, happiness, and spiritual growth to those who perform them. The day is especially special because of its connection to Lord Shiva. Many people do special Jalabhishek (water pouring) ceremonies in temples and at home.

In Gujarat, this day is also referred to as Hariyali Amas or Haryali Amavas, while in North India, devotees flock to sacred temples such as Dwarkadhish Temple in Mathura and Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan for special darshans of Lord Krishna.

The Meaning Behind Hariyali

The word "Hariyali" means greenery, which shows the start of the monsoon and the abundance of nature. Spiritually, it stands for cleansing and fresh beginnings. On this day, devotees take a bath in holy rivers like the Ganga or Yamuna. They believe this cleans the soul and removes their sins. It is also a special day to perform Pitra Tarpan and Pind Daan for their ancestors.

Sanatagyan says that doing these rituals with devotion and in the right way is very important. When done properly, they bring peace to ancestors. They also help remove obstacles in life. Doing these rituals during lucky yogas like Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga increases their benefits even more.

Hariyali Amavasya and Lord Shiva

The entire month of Shravan is considered sacred for Lord Shiva. On Hariyali Amavasya, devotees pour water (called Jalabhishek) on Shiva Lingams. They also chant mantras like “Om Namah Shivaya.” According to Sanatagyan, this day has special divine energy. It helps strengthen a person’s spiritual focus and brings them closer to Lord Shiva.

Temples across India, especially in regions like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh, witness large gatherings. Special pujas, abhisheks, and satsangs are conducted to honor the deity.

Connection with Nature and Festivals

Hariyali Amavasya usually occurs three days before Hariyali Teej, a festival celebrating greenery and fertility. Hariyali Teej is mostly about women’s rituals. It celebrates marital happiness. Hariyali Amavasya is different. It focuses on devotion, ancestors, and spirituality.

This alignment with nature also serves as a reminder of harmony between the spiritual and physical world. The rains of Shravan are seen as blessings from the heavens, and the lush environment adds to the sanctity of this day.

Hariyali Amavasya in 2025 falls on July 24th. A very special and spiritual date, people perform sacred rituals such as Snan (ritual bathing), Daan (charity), and Pitra Tarpan (honoring one’s ancestors). This year, strong yogas enhance the day’s strength further. This date serves as a unique opportunity for devotion, cleansing, and the grace of ancestors. Observing this date helps strengthen relationship with the divine and nature.
