Magh Purnima Significance
Hindu scriptures describe bathing in the holy river on Maghi Purnima as a highly auspicious act, believed to cleanse both past and present sins. After the ritual bath, devotees often give alms in hopes of spiritual purification. On this day, Lord Vishnu and Lord Hanuman are honored, with worshippers seeking their blessings, trusting that their wishes will be granted.
Magh Purnima is a revered occasion for spiritual and religious practices. According to mythology, during this time, gods descend from heaven to the earth, residing on the Ganges' banks. This sacred day is celebrated with the 'Magh Mela' and 'Kumbh Mela,' where thousands gather to take a holy dip in the Ganges, embracing the divine spirit of Maghi Purnima.
