Devotees perform tharpanam, offering sesame and rice balls to their ancestors, usually beside the sea, a river or a temple tank, together with a ritual bath.1,2
Large gatherings take place at the Agni Theertham at Rameswaram, at Kanyakumari, and on the banks of the Cauvery and Thamirabarani rivers.1,2
When it falls: Aadi Amavasai is the Amavasya (new moon) that falls in the Tamil solar month of Aadi.1,2,3
