Mauni Amavasya is an important day in the Hindu calendar, especially during the Kumbh Mela. It is observed on the new moon day of the month of Magha, which usually falls in January or February. The day is dedicated to silence (maun), and many devotees observe a silent fast to meditate and contemplate. It is believed that bathing in holy rivers on Mauni Amavasya purifies the soul, washes away sins and bestows spiritual merit.
This day holds a very special significance for the pilgrims who attend the Kumbh Mela, where they believe that taking a dip in the holy water on Mauni Amavasya brings the highest form of spiritual purification. The atmosphere on this day is very devotional, where millions of people come together in a shared experience of faith and devotion and take a bath.
