JAMMU: Mahant Rohit Shastri, President of Shri Kailakh Jyotish avim Vedic Sansthan Trust, has emphasized the spiritual and religious significance of Ashadha Amavasya, falling on Wednesday, June 25 this year.

Amavasya, occurring once every month, is considered sacred and is governed by Pitru Devas (ancestral spirits).
