What not to do on the day of Vaishakh Amavasya: Vaishakh Amavasya is considered to have special significance in Hindu religion. This day is dedicated to holy bath, worship of Lord Vishnu, offering to ancestors and charity. There is a religious belief that bathing in holy rivers like Ganga on this day destroys sins and brings peace to the souls of ancestors. At the same time, by donating water and food, Pitra Dosha is removed and happiness and prosperity comes in life.
