According to the Tharu traditions, the amavasya of Diwali is Shardaiya Amavasya, which falls in the sequence of the amavasya of Shard Paksha. “Our community used to remember those dead family members, who had not been offered ‘Shradda’ due to some unavoidable reasons, in the Pitar Paksha in September and observe the Diwali amavasya as the day of the last rites to these departed loved ones,” said Rana.

According to senior members of the Tharu society, now, people celebrate the amavasya as the festival of lights, enjoy sweets and burst crackers. “Like other changes that the Tharu society has undergone in the last 40 years, the tradition of festivals has also changed,” said Gopal Singh Rana, a former MLA from the community.
