माघ मास 2026 हिन्दी में पढ़ें

हिंदू धर्म में माघ महीने का विशेष महत्व है। माघ महीने की शुरुआत मकर संक्रांति के त्योहार से होती है।

Mythology behind Magh maas:

According to legend, Gautam Rishi cursed Indra in the month of Magha. On apologizing, Gautam Rishi asked him to make atonement by bathing in the Ganges in the month of Magha. Then Indradev had bathed in the Ganges in the month of Magh, as a result of which Indradev was freed from the curse. That's why it is considered sacred to bathe on Maghi Purnima and Maghi Amavasya in this month.

How to perform Puja etc in the Magha maas:

❀ Every day in the month of Magha, after taking bath in the river, offer Arghya to the Surya Bhagwan by chanting the mantra Om Suryaya Namah.
❀ Go to the temple and offer water to the Shivling with a copper vessel. Offer Bilva Patra and Dhutra, apply sandalwood tilak and perform aarti by lighting incense-lamps.
❀ Make sure to anoint Bhagwan Vishnu and Bahwgan Krishna in the month of Magh. Offer yellow flowers and Panchamrit to Shri Krishna every morning, then recite \"Madhurashtak\".
❀ Fill milk mixed with saffron in the Dakshinavarti sankh and anoint bhagwan Krishna with the conch. Offer yellow bright clothes to God. Offer sweets made of milk with basil. Chant Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya and Kri Krishnaya Namah mantra in worship and perform aarti.
❀ Donate to the needy people in the month of Magh, if possible serve the cow.
