The Kumbh Mela is held once in every twelve years during this auspicious period. Maghi Purnima, also known by the name of Magha Purnima, is known to be a day of the full moon that occurs during the month of Magh. It is believed that such an act absolves an individual of the sins, and he or she will achieve ‘moksha’ or salvation. On this occasion, Hindu devotees take a holy dip at the Prayag Sangam (the confluence of Rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati). It is observed in the months of December-January as per the English calendar. Paush Purnima is a remarkable day in Hindu calendar.
