What Maasi Amavasai is known for
Maha Shivaratri comes a day or two before the Maasi new moon, a night kept awake through four rounds of worship. The day after Shivaratri, the Angalamman temple at Melmalayanur holds the Mayana Kollai.
Like every Amavasai it is a day for tharpanam, offering sesame and water to the ancestors at a river, tank or the sea.
When Maasi Amavasai falls
It is the Amavasai that falls in Maasi, while the sun is in Kumbha (Aquarius); this Maasi runs from 13 Feb 2027 to 14 Mar 2027. The Tamil month follows the sun and the Amavasai the moon, so the two do not line up the same way every year: Maasi 2029 has two.
