The Magh Mela (occurring annually during the Hindu month of Magh, Jan-Feb) is a period of intense spiritual energy in Prayagraj. Millions of pilgrims, Sadhus, and Saints congregate here for Kalpavas (a month-long vow of austerity and devotion) and holy dips at the Sangam, especially on auspicious bathing days like Paush Purnima, Mauni Amavasya, and Basant Panchami.
Performing Shradh during Magh Mela is considered exceptionally meritorious. The collective positive spiritual vibrations, the presence of numerous enlightened souls, and the heightened sanctity of the Sangam during this period amplify the benefits of the rituals, ensuring profound peace for the ancestors.
