Magh Purnima Snan: Saturday 20 February 2027
The Magh Purnima snan of Haridwar Kumbh 2027 falls on Saturday 20 February 2027. It is one of the eleven bathing days on the official Haridwar Kumbh website, not an Amrit Snan.
Magh Purnima is the full moon of Magha. It closes the month of Magha, a season many devotees keep with daily bathing and charity. The mela administration lists it for 20 February; at sunrise that day the tithi is still Chaturdashi, and the full-moon tithi begins later in the day, so check the official notice for the final date.
