Mauni Amavasya Snan: Saturday 6 February 2027

Mauni Amavasya is the new moon of the month of Magha. By tradition, many pilgrims keep silence (mauna) on this day until they have bathed. It usually draws large numbers of pilgrims; follow police and mela instructions on the day.

What happens on the day
- Before the day: the district police announce road diversions and parking shortly before each big bathing day, and the mela administration publishes the day’s arrangements. Neither had been published for 6 February when we checked.
- The tithi: Magha Amavasya, the new moon, prevails at sunrise and lasts until 9:25 pm, by the Tirth panchang for Haridwar.

- Through the morning: pilgrims bathe at Har Ki Pauri and the other ghats. The official website says saints lead spiritual processions and temples hold special prayers on the day; no programme has been published yet.
- At sunset: Shri Ganga Sabha holds the evening Ganga aarti at Har Ki Pauri, as it does every day, after the morning aarti at sunrise. See the Ganga aarti at Har Ki Pauri.
