and February 13 (Maha Shivratri)It is widely believed that taking a holy dip at the Sangam on the auspicious days during the period will wash away the sins and will lead to Moksha (merging with the Supreme Soul) – the ultimate aim of Hindus.Important bathing dates during Magh mela attract nearly a million Hindu devotees. A temporary tent city is erected on the banks of Ganga in Allahabad. Numerous religious organizations and ashrams erect separate camps for their followers.A major highlight during the period is the Kalpavasis – pilgrims who live in these camps during the period of the Magh Mela.It must be noted here that when Kumbh Mela and Ardh Kumbh Mela takes place at Prayag, Magh Mela is not held.

This lunar month starts on November 22 and ends on December 21. This month was also known as Maargashirsha after the nakshatra Mrigashira during the Vedic period.The meaning of the term Agrahayana is 'ayan' or equinox. It is thought that this name may have been given when the sun was near Orion at the time of vernal equinox, i.e. around 7000 years ago. It is thought due to the close relation of this name with the Mrigashira asterism. As per the lunar religious calendars, the month of Agrahayana may start on either the new moon or the full moon around the same time of year. The month initiates with the Sun's entry into Scorpio as per the solar religious calendars.
