It is considered very auspicious from the spiritual point of view and doing charity during this time, especially bathing in the Ganga, is extremely fruitful.

Pongal is celebrated as a harvest festival in South India, especially Tamil Nadu. It is a four-day festival in which gratitude is expressed towards nature, the Sun God, and livestock. The sweet rice dish called Pongal is the hallmark of this festival.

Magha Sankranti

Bathing in Ganga, Yamuna and other holy rivers has special significance on Magh Sankranti. This festival marks the beginning of the month of Magh, in which devotees earn virtue by worshiping and donating.

Magh Bihu, also known as Bhogali Bihu, is the major harvest festival of Assam. On this day, there is a tradition of traditional feast, burning of table and celebration in bamboo houses. It is a celebration of the hard work of farmers and the joy of the new crop.

Hazrat Ali Jayanti
