Pithori Amavasya is a significant day for married Hindu women who observe this fast to seek blessings for their families' well-being and prosperity. This day falls on the no moon day of the month of Shravan in the Hindu calendar. The fast is dedicated to Goddess Pithori Mata, who is believed to protect and nurture families.

The fast begins with women waking up early, bathing, and preparing a special meal known as 'Pithori'. This meal typically consists of sweet and savory dishes made with rice, lentils, vegetables, and fruits. Married women also make offerings of vermilion, turmeric, flowers, and food to Goddess Pithori Mata.

On this day, married women observe strict fasting and perform rituals to honor Goddess Pithori Mata. The fast is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to their families. In addition to fasting, women also participate in prayers, rituals, and offer water and food to the Goddess as part of the Pithori Amavasya celebrations.
