Perform These Rituals on Vaishakh Amavasya

Light a diya for Lord Yamaraj

Offering Pind-daan to Ancestors

On Amavasya, rituals of Tarpan and Pind-daan are performed for one's ancestors. It is believed that performing the Shraddh (ancestral rites) on Amavasya grants liberation to the ancestors and pleases them.

Light a diya under a Peepal Tree

On the day of Vaishakh Amavasya, the Peepal tree is worshipped. In the evening, circumambulate the Peepal tree and light a diya filled with mustard oil. Performing this ritual helps remove all obstacles and brings the blessings of one's ancestors.
