New Delhi timings; your city may differ by a few minutes. Several of these tithis span two days, so dates may differ by a day by region or panchang.
Makar Sankranti: the punya kaal is on Friday, 15 January 2027, as the Sun enters Makara at about 9:10 PM on 14 January. Government calendars and the Haridwar mela list it on 14 January.
Magha Purnima: the snan is on 20 February. Purnima ends before sunrise on 21 February, so 21 February is not the snan day.
Mela start: sources differ on whether the mela opens on Makar Sankranti or on Paush Purnima. Until the Mela administration's notice settles it, take the start as mid-January 2027.
What the six snan days mean in tradition
- Makar Sankranti: the Sun enters Makara (Capricorn) and begins its northward course, Uttarayan.
- Paush Purnima: the full moon on which kalpvas traditionally begins.
- Mauni Amavasya: a day of silence, snan and daan, traditionally the principal bath of the mela. In 2027 it is also Shani Amavasya.
- Vasant Panchami: the day of Devi Saraswati and the start of spring.
- Magha Purnima: the full moon on which kalpvas traditionally ends.
- Maha Shivaratri: the night of Shiva and the last snan of the season.
Kalpvas in tradition
Kalpvasis live in simple camps on the sands near the Sangam for the month of Magh. In tradition, they bathe in the Sangam each day and many eat one simple meal a day. Their days are spent in japa, katha and satsang with saints.
Kalpvas traditionally runs from Paush Purnima to Magha Purnima. In 2027 that is Friday, 22 January to Saturday, 20 February. Many families keep kalpvas year after year, often as a vow taken by elders.
How a Sangam snan is done in tradition
Pilgrims take a sankalp with their name and gotra, then take dips at the Sangam. After the bath they offer arghya to Surya, give daan on the bank and often float a leaf-cup diya as deep daan.
Planning your Magh Mela snan
- Reach the ghats early, as snan is traditionally done around sunrise.
- Carry warm clothes, since January and February mornings at the Sangam are cold.
- On the main snan days, use the marked bathing ghats and follow the mela police and administration.
- Keep elders and children close in crowds, and agree on a meeting point.
Triveni Sangam, Akshayavat and Bade Hanuman
- Triveni Sangam: the meeting point of the Ganga and the Yamuna, where in tradition the unseen Saraswati also joins. Devotees bathe here and float lamps on the water as deep daan.
- Akshayavat: the undying banyan near the Sangam, revered in tradition. Many pilgrims seek its darshan after their snan.
- Bade Hanuman: the temple of the reclining Hanuman near the Sangam, which many visit after the bath.
- Nag Vasuki Mandir: the temple of Nag Vasuki on the bank of the Ganga.
- Maa Lalita Devi Mandir: a Devi temple in Prayagraj where Lalita Sahasranam path is offered.
