According to Dharmashastravid and former member of the Nepal Panchanga Nirnayak Samiti, Prof. Dr. Devmani Bhattarai, Sombar Ausna generally occurs two to three times a year. He stated that bathing silently in the morning on the day of Sombar Ausna leads to a happy conjugal life and bestows imperishable merit, as mentioned in various religious texts.< /p>

The new moon tithi is also considered very important for Shraddha and Tarpan. It is stated in the scriptures that it is appropriate for both those who have parents and those who do not to bathe early in the morning on the day when the new moon falls on a Monday.< /p>
