Thai Amavasai was observed throughout Tamil Nadu with devotion and traditional rites on January 24.
About:
Thai Amavasai is the first New Moon that comes after the Sun starts moving towards the Northern hemisphere.
The day is believed to be astrologically significant and hence considered to be holy. Bathing in holy rivers and offering rituals to ancestors form important aspects of the Amavasai day.
People gathered to perform rituals at Poompuhar in Nagapattinam district, where the Cauvery River joins the Bay of Bengal. In the famous sea shore Shiva temple of Rameswaram, rituals are conducted on the famous glass idol.
