Hinduism - When Is The Month Of Magh In The Hindu Calendar?

 

Magh is the eleventh month of the lunar year, generally occurring between January and February, according to the lunar calendar, which is used to calculate most Hindu religious events.

The Magh Mela, a month-long bathing (snana) celebration held at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers in Allahabad, takes place throughout the month of Magh.

Sakata Chauth, Shattila Ekadashi, Mauni Amavasya, Vasant Panchami, Bhishma Ashtami, Jaya Ekadashi, Ravidas Jayanti, and Makara Sankranti are the other prominent festivals in Magh.

During Magh, southern India celebrates Pongal and the Float Festival.
