    Magh Mela 2026 Timeline And Kalpavas Duration

    In 2026, the Magh Mela commenced on January 3, coinciding with Paush Purnima, and will conclude on February 15, 2026, on the occasion of Mahashivratri. Traditionally, Kalpavas, a period of strict spiritual discipline, is observed for around 30 days, starting from Paush Purnima and ending on Magh Purnima.

    Does Magh Mela End On Magh Purnima?

    There is a common misconception that the Magh Mela concludes with Magh Purnima. However, this is not true. While Magh Purnima marks the end of the Magh month and the completion of Kalpavas, the Magh Mela itself continues until Mahashivratri.

    Final Snan On Mahashivratri

    The fifth divine bathing ritual of the Magh Mela was observed on February 1, on Magh Purnima, at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj. The sixth and final Maha Snan will take place on February 15, on Mahashivratri, after which the Magh Mela will officially conclude.

    Auspicious Time For Mahashivratri Sangam Snan

    On the day of Mahashivratri, the auspicious time for bathing at the Sangam will begin from Brahma Muhurta, which is from 4:00 am to 5:30 am. Taking a holy dip during this period is believed to bring spiritual merit, mental peace, and inner purification.

    Spiritual Benefits Of Taking A Holy Dip During Magh Mela

    A sacred bath at the Triveni Sangam during the Magh Mela is believed to bestow spiritual rewards equivalent to performing thousands of yajnas. Devotees believe that the holy dip cleanses past sins, purifies the soul, reduces stress, and helps in removing planetary doshas.
