According to the Hindu calendar, the month of Magh begins after the end of the Paush month. According to the scriptures, bathing and giving alms during the month of Magh hold great significance. Those who bathe in the Ganges during the month of Magh are believed to have all their sins washed away, leading to increased happiness and prosperity in life and ultimately, liberation (moksha). The Magh Mela is also organized in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, during this month.

This month is considered extremely sacred.
The Magh Mela is not just a religious festival, but also an opportunity for spiritual communion for saints, householders, and ordinary devotees. During this time, people arrive at the banks of the Sangam (confluence of rivers) with faith, take a holy dip, and express their devotion to God. So, let's find out from the astrologer of Deoghar when the Magh Mela is starting and what auspicious conjunctions are forming?

What the Deoghar astrologer says
Renowned astrologer Pandit Nandkishore Mudgal of Mudgal Jyotish Kendra, located at Pagal Baba Ashram in Deoghar, told a Local 18 correspondent that the Paush month will end on January 3rd with the full moon. The month of Magh will begin on January 3rd itself, and the Magh Mela will also start on the same day. The Magh Mela concludes on the day of Mahashivratri, and according to the Panchang (Hindu calendar), Mahashivratri is on February 15th; therefore, the Magh Mela will conclude on Sunday, February 15th.

An amazing, auspicious conjunction is forming at the beginning of Magh
The astrologer says that this year, the month of Magh is starting on Sunday, January 4th, and an amazing auspicious conjunction like Tripushkar Yoga is forming on this day. ​​The Magh Mela is also concluding on a Sunday. This time, after 75 years, the Sun will enter Capricorn on a Sunday. Sunday is considered the Sun's own day.

What is the significance of the Magh Mela?
Giving alms and bathing have special significance in the month of Magh. According to the scriptures, bathing in holy rivers during the month of Magh washes away all kinds of sins. It also bestows inexhaustible merit upon the individual. This is why, every year, from Makar Sankranti until the end of the month of Magh, a large number of devotees come to the Sangam to bathe, worship, and engage in spiritual practices. If you missed the Mahakumbh, don't worry, take a dip in the Sangam on this day. This day is also considered very sacred.
