Tag: Mauni Amavasya

Mauni Amavasya is a highly sacred day in Hindu tradition, observed during the new moon of the Magha month. Known as the “Day of Silence,” devotees practice maun vrat (silence) to attain inner peace, spiritual clarity, and self-discipline. The day holds deep significance for those seeking purification of the mind and soul. Taking a holy dip in the Ganga—especially at Prayagraj during the Magh Mela—is believed to wash away negative energies and grant spiritual merit. Many people engage in meditation, fasting, chanting mantras, and performing charitable acts. Mauni Amavasya symbolizes devotion, introspection, and the pursuit of divine connection, making it one of the most spiritually powerful days in the Hindu calendar.
