What Margazhi Amavasai is known for
Hanuman Jayanthi is kept when the Moolam star meets the Margazhi new moon. On this day the Namakkal Anjaneyar is garlanded with a vadai malai of 1,00,008 vadais, and Anjaneyar temples everywhere hold worship from dawn.
Like every Amavasai it is a day for tharpanam, offering sesame and water to the ancestors at a river, tank or the sea.
When Margazhi Amavasai falls
It is the Amavasai that falls in Margazhi, while the sun is in Dhanusu (Sagittarius); this Margazhi runs from 16 Dec 2026 to 14 Jan 2027. The Tamil month follows the sun and the Amavasai the moon, so the two do not line up the same way every year: Margazhi 2028 has none.
