In Hinduism, the full moon date of the month of Magh is considered important. It is also called Maghi Purnima. On this day, bathing in the Ganges, especially at the Sangam of Tirtharaj Prayag, is considered auspicious. Along with bathing in the Ganges on Maghi Purnima, charity and worship of Lord Vishnu and Mother Lakshmi also have special significance. Bathing in the Ganges and worshiping on this date brings prosperity, happiness, and peace in life. This year Maha Kumbh is being organized in Prayagraj after 144 years, which has increased the importance of Maghi Purnima even more.
For the first time in Maha Kumbh 2025, it is being seen that even after major baths like Makar Sankranti, Mauni Amavasya and Basant Panchami, crores of devotees are reaching Prayagraj Sangam to take a dip of faith in Maghi Purnima. Let us know the auspicious time for the Magh Purnima bath and what work is mandatory.
