Significance of Thai Amavasai
Thai Amavasai is the New moon day in the Tamil month Thai (January � February). In 2017, Thai Amavasai is on January 27. On this day, hundreds of people pay obeisance to their ancestors. Thai Amavasai is special for Thithi and Tharpanam. This is also the first Amavasai of Utharayanam.
 
A huge rush is witnessed at the Triveni Sangamam at Kanyakumari and in Rameshwaram. Certain devotees will only have one meal on this day.
