New Delhi timings; your city may differ by a few minutes. The tithi spans two days, so dates may differ by a day by region or panchang. Snan and daan are done on 6 February, when Amavasya prevails at sunrise.
In the purnimanta calendar of North India this is Magha Amavasya. In the amanta calendar of South and West India, the same day is Paush Amavasya.
An annular solar eclipse also falls on 6 February 2027. It occurs at night in India and is not visible here, so no sutak applies in India. See Grahan 2027 for details.
Mauni Amavasya snan at Prayagraj and Haridwar
Prayagraj: Mauni Amavasya is traditionally the principal bathing day of the Magh Mela at the Triveni Sangam. The Mela administration had not announced its 2027 snan list as of November 2026. The date here follows the panchang, so check the Mela administration's notice before you travel.
Haridwar: 6 February is the second of ten announced snan dates for Haridwar Kumbh 2027 (the mela administration calls it Ardh Kumbh). Pilgrims bathe at Har Ki Pauri and nearby ghats. Brahmakund at Har Ki Pauri is the focus of the snan, and the Ganga aarti is held there each evening.
Mauna vrat, snan, daan and tarpan in tradition
In tradition, the whole month of Magh is set aside for snan, daan and simple living. The Puranas praise bathing at Prayag in this month. For many pilgrims, Mauni Amavasya is the central day of that month.
- Mauna (silence): the name Mauni comes from mauna. Many devotees keep silence for part or all of the day and spend it in japa and prayer.
- Snan: a sunrise bath in a sacred river is central to the day. Those at home bathe early and remember Ganga Maa while bathing.
- Daan: til, jaggery, blankets, warm clothes and food are given to those in need during the cold month of Magh.
- Tarpan: as on every Amavasya, families offer water with black til to their ancestors.
- Shani puja: because the day is a Saturday, many light a sesame oil lamp for Shani Dev and give black til or mustard oil.
Silence is seen in tradition as a way to steady the mind and turn it towards prayer. Some keep it only until their snan and puja are complete.
Our guide to the difference between tarpan and shraddha explains which rite suits an Amavasya. For every vrat and festival date in the year, see the Hindu festival calendar 2027.
