This day is considered highly auspicious for spiritual growth, self-reflection, and introspection. It is believed that on this day, the gods and goddesses descend to the earth, and the devotees can connect with them easily. The word 'Mauni' means 'silence' or 'mute', and 'Amavasya' means 'new moon day'.
