Tomorrow, 27 January 2017 is Thai Amavasai.
Thai Amavasai is the first New Moon day after the Sun has started its celestial journey into Northern hemisphere. The Sun represents the soul in Vedic astrology and he helps one seek ancestral blessings to a great level during this time.
Doing tarpanam on Thai Amavasya is significant for the fact that the Sun has entered the house of Saturn (Capricorn) who removes the negative ancestral karma for one. Thus, Thai Amavasai gains immense significance on account of the start of the Uttarayana through the beginning of the northward journey of the Sun who enters Saturn’s house. Visit to know more.
