अमामसी

noun

अमामसी meaning in English

The 13th day of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha) in the Hindu lunar calendar.

Detailed Explanation

A specific date in the traditional Hindu lunisolar calendar, occurring on the 13th day of the waning moon phase (Krishna Paksha). It is the day immediately preceding Amavasya (the new moon). This day is often associated with specific religious observances, fasting, and rituals in various Indian traditions.

📝 Cultural Context

In many regional calendars and common usage, the 13th day is often referred to as Trayodashi. 'Amamasi' is a more specific or archaic term for this date, distinct from Amavasya (the 15th day/new moon). It is important to distinguish it from Amavasya, which is the actual new moon day.
