Magh

According to the lunar calendar, by

Magh there is a month-long bathing

confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna
rivers in Allahabad. The other major festivals in Magh are Sakata Chauth,
Shattila Ekadashi, Mauni Amavasya,
Vasant Panchami, Bhishma Ashtami,
Jaya Ekadashi, Ravidas Jayanti, Makara
Sankranti. In southern India, Pongal
