The Mauni Amavasya is the last amavasya tithi before Maha Shivratri. People believe that fasting on Somvati Amavasya can ward off widowhood for women. Moreover, taking a dip in any holy water can bring prosperity and happiness to devotees on this day.
As per the Hindu calendar, Mauni Amavasya is considered the most important and auspicious day. Mauni comes from the Sanskrit word Mauna, meaning silence or absolute silence. As the name suggests on this day people take a pledge to observe one day fasting by not uttering a word throughout the day.
