Mauni Amavasya Snan: Saturday 6 February 2027

KumbhMela.info Editorial TeamChecked on Sun 18 Oct 2026

The Mauni Amavasya snan of Haridwar Kumbh 2027 falls on Saturday 6 February 2027. It is one of the eleven bathing days on the official Haridwar Kumbh website, not an Amrit Snan.

ProvisionalChecked on Sun 18 Oct 2026

The date is listed on the official Haridwar Kumbh website (checked 18 October 2026); the mela administration first announced it in April 2026, as reported by PTI. No dated government notice listing it was found online. Tithi at sunrise: Magha Amavasya, from the Tirth panchang.

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 Mauni Amavasya means

Mauni Amavasya is the new moon of the month of Magha. Mauna means silence, and by tradition many devotees keep a vow of silence on this day as a practice of self-discipline, meditation and reflection. Sadhus, saints and kalpvasis keep the same maun vrat, which is described as a way to turn the mind inward. A dip in the Ganga on Mauni Amavasya is believed to wash away past sins and cleanse the soul.

The official Haridwar Kumbh website calls it one of the holiest days of the Kumbh. It describes saints leading spiritual processions, temples holding special prayers and pilgrims coming to the ghats for the holy bath, prayers and rituals of the day. The same new moon is also a bathing day of the Magh Mela at the Sangam in Prayagraj, so on Saturday 6 February 2027 the day is kept at both places.

How the day runs

  1. Before the dayThe 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.
  2. Before the bathBy tradition, many pilgrims keep silence (mauna) until they have bathed. The official Haridwar Kumbh website describes the silence as a practice of self-discipline, meditation and reflection.
