Maghi Purnima, also known by the name of Magha Purnima, is known to be a day of the full moon that occurs during the Hindu calendar month of Magha.[1] This day falls during the Gregorian calendar month of January or February. During this time period, the Kumbh Mela is held every twelve years, and the Magh Mela is held on an annual basis at the confluence of three rivers or Triveni Sangam all around north India.[citation needed]
Kaaw Punim
[edit]Kashmiri Hindus of Jammu and Kashmir celebrate this day as Kaaw Punim (lit. 'Purnima of the crow'), where they offer rice to crows as prasad.[2] The Gangabal Lake, a high-altitude Himalayan glacial lake considered sacred in Hinduism, is invoked during the rituals of Kaaw Punim.[3][4]
