Shani Amavasya Dates 2012, Shani amavasi 2012, Sani Amvas
Shani Amavasya is the New moon day that falls on a Saturday. Some Hindu communities (who fallow Lunar calender) consider Amavasya as inauspicious day and the Amavasya that falls on Saturday is even more inauspicious day. But the Hindu communities that follow Sauramana (Solar Calendar) consider Amavasya as auspicious. They worship Lord Shani, who is the supreme God of fortunes.
On this day, Devotees observe Shani Amavasya puja. Devotees believe that praying Lord Shani on this day and offering him naivedyam can reduce bad effects in their lives. Sani Amavasya pooja is observed mainly in North India and in Tamilnadu and some regions of Kerala.
This year, Shani Amavasya Dates are 21st April 2012 and 15th September 2012.
