The last date of the Krishna Paksha of Vaishakh month is Amavasya on 30 April, which is falling on Saturday. That is why this Amavasya is also called Shanishchari Amavasya. It will be a new moon day. Shanishchari Amavasya has great importance in the scriptures. Along with the worshipping ancestors, we worship Shani Dev, which holds a special significance. It is believed that pleasing Lord Shani on this day is proved to be auspicious. Also, by following certain remedies on the day of Shanishchari Amavasya, the natives get rid of the Mahadasha of Shani.
As Shanishchari Amavasya is falling on Saturday, the Amavasya Tithi will remain till 1.57 minutes late at night on 30th April. After that, the Pratipada date of Vaishakh Shukla Paksha will be taken. Bathing, Shradh etc. have special significance on this day.

Know from Acharya Indu Prakash about these special measures:
- For wealth, take a coconut and break it on the ground in front of the Shiva idol at night, wishing to get wealth. Now keep these broken pieces of coconut near the idol of Lord Shiva, overnight. In the morning, distribute them among all the members of the house.
- If you have any kind of problem in life, then wear a thick red coloured thread around your neck. Don it till the next month's new moon, which is falling on May 30. On the mentioned day, remove the thread out of your neck and bury it outside the house at night by digging a pit. By doing this all the troubles going on in life will end.
- If there is some tension going on in married life, take some milk on Shanishchari Amavasya, add a pinch of sugar to it and put it in a well. If you do not find a well anywhere near the house, then pour milk into the raw soil outside the house and put some soil over it. By doing this the relationship between you and your spouse will be better than before.
- If other people are jealous of seeing your progress day by day or perform some superstitious activities behind your back. Then to get rid of such people, take a roti, put mustard oil on it, now spread the oil with the help of another roti. Feed the two rotis to a black dog. By doing this you will soon get rid of the people who do evil to you.
- If you are troubled by debt, then on the day of Shanishchari Amavasya, take some mustard seeds in your hand and go to the square of your house or on the roof of the house at midnight and do three rounds in the anti-clockwise direction. After this, throw the mustard seeds in ten different directions. By doing this trick on Amavasya, you will soon get rid of debt.
- If you or any member of your family is unwell for a few days, then on Shanishchari Amavasya, after taking bath, take out a thread from the clothes of the person who is not keeping well and mix it thread with cotton and make the 'jott or batti'. Now put mustard oil in an earthen lamp, put that wick and light that lamp outside the house. By doing this, the health of an unhealthy person will improve soon.
- If you are troubled by the problem of unemployment or you feel that someone of your senior is hindering your promotion, then on the day of Shanishchari Amavasya, take a lemon in the evening, and cut it into four separate pieces and go to a crossroads. Throw a lemon slice in each of the four directions. By doing this, either you will get a good job soon or you will be promoted.
- If you have a special wish, which is not been fulfilled for a long time, take a coconut and break it while chanting Goddess' name. Cut the kernel obtained from inside into 42 pieces. Offer 3 pieces to Lord Shankar, distribute 9 pieces to small girls. Distribute two pieces to the tailor, two pieces to the gardener, two pieces to the potter as prasad, and keep four pieces for yourself, offer the remaining twenty pieces to the temple or distribute them as prasad.
- To give a new direction to your career, take a coconut on the day of Shanishchari Amavasya and wrap a red coloured thread on it seven times and make it flow in the running water while remembering your Ishta Dev.
- To increase your confidence level, light a ghee lamp before the closing of the temple doors on the new moon night. If you cannot go to the temple then light it in the home temple, before sleeping.
- To remove all the troubles from your family and maintain happiness, take 5 red flowers and 5 oil lamps and float them in running water. If you do this remedy in the evening, then it is even better. Rest you can do as per your convenience. By doing this the happiness of your family will remain intact.
