Why the dates differ. In the Purnimanta calendar a month ends on the full moon; in Amanta it ends on the new moon. So Magha begins about 15 days earlier in North India than in Amanta regions — even though the festivals fall on the same day in both, because they are fixed by tithi.

The significance of Magha — Lord Vishnu & Surya

Magha is the great month of the holy bath. A dip at Prayag through the month — the Kalpavas, when devotees live austere by the Sangam — is held to wash a lifetime's karma. It opens with Makar Sankranti as the sun turns north, holds the silent Mauni Amavasya bath, and reaches Vasant Panchami, the first day of spring and the worship of Saraswati.

Rituals of Magha

  • Magha snan — a daily pre-dawn holy dip, especially at Prayag
  • Kalpavas — an austere month-long stay at the Sangam
  • Til-gud daan and sesame offerings
  • Surya arghya from Makar Sankranti
  • The silent Mauni Amavasya bath
  • Saraswati puja on Vasant Panchami
  • Fasting on Jaya and Vijaya Ekadashi
