Mauni Amavasya
One of the major Amavasyas celebrated on the new moon day of the Hindu month of Magha is Mauni Amavasya, also called "Mauna Amavasya". This Amavasya happens between January and February in the English calendar. It is also known as "Maghi Amavasya" because this Mauni Amavasya fast occurs in the month of Magh. The bathing festival at Mauni Amavasya (Mauni Amavasya 2024) is another significant event on this day. During the Kumbh Mela and Magh Mela, it is customary to take a sacred bath. A day set aside for spiritual activity is Mauni Amavasya.
