The New Moon Day (Amavasya) of the Ashadha month is called Phalguna Amavasya. This day is perfect for commemorating the deceased ancestors and praying for their Moksha (liberation). Hence, people perform Shradh and Tarpan rituals to please their dead relatives.

In addition, Amavasya is a significant day because people also observe a vrat and perform a few practices to seek the Almighty's blessings. These are called totkes. Therefore, read on to know the Ashadha Amavasya ke totke or upay suggested by astrologer Pandit Sujeet Ji Maharaj.
