Mauni Amavasya, also known as Maghi Amavasya, is a significant Hindu observance falling on January 18, 2026, during the month of Magha. Devotees observe silence, fasting, and take holy dips in sacred rivers like the Ganges to purify the soul and honor ancestors. The day includes rituals such as charity, offering Arghya to the Sun, and prayers believed to bring peace, prosperity, and relief from troubles. This year, auspicious yogas like Shiva Vas Yoga enhance the spiritual significance of the day.
