**Prayagraj, India (Date of Publication)** – Magh Purnima, a highly auspicious day in the Hindu calendar, falls on Wednesday, February 12th, 2025, this year. The day holds special significance as it marks the fifth royal bath (Shahi Snan) of the Maha Kumbh Mela and coincides with the auspicious Shobhan and Saubhagya yogas, considered highly beneficial in astrology.
According to Dr. Pandit Diwakar Tripathi, director of the Uttan Jyotish Sansthan, the Purnima Tithi begins on Tuesday, February 11th, at 6:30 PM and ends on Wednesday, February 12th, at 6:41 PM. The Saubhagya Yoga will prevail until 8:07 AM on Wednesday, followed by the Shobhan Yoga. The moon will transit through the Cancer zodiac sign, creating a powerful planetary alignment with Venus in Pisces, the Moon in its own sign, and Saturn in Aquarius, further enhancing the auspiciousness of the day. Jupiter’s ninth aspect will also form a Guru Aditya Raj Yoga. Mercury will transit into Aquarius at 10 AM.
Several auspicious timings are also noted: Brahma Muhurta (5:19 AM-6:10 AM), Pratah Sandhya (5:45 AM-7:02 AM), Vijay Muhurta (2:27 PM-3:11 PM), Godhuli Muhurta (6:07 PM-6:32 PM), Sayaahna Sandhya (6:09 PM-7:26 PM), and Amrit Kaal (5:55 PM-7:35 PM). The moonrise, significant for rituals, is at 5:59 PM. Devotees are encouraged to take a holy bath and perform charitable acts during this period.
