Consumption of Tamasic food (abstention from meat and alcohol)
The date of Amavasya is completely dedicated to ancestors and spiritual practice. On this day, one should not consume meat, fish, eggs or alcohol at home.

sleeping late and violating celibacy
From the religious point of view, it is mandatory to wake up early in the morning and take bath and meditate on Amavasya. One should avoid sleeping till late tomorrow.
