The Hindu month of Magh, beginning January 4, 2026, is considered highly auspicious for spiritual practices, charity, and holy bathing, particularly in sacred rivers like the Triveni Sangam. Religious texts suggest these acts bring peace and prosperity, and cleanse sins. Scientifically, bathing in cold water during this month is believed to boost immunity and improve circulation. The Magh Mela festival in Prayagraj is a significant event during this period.
