Maghi Purnima, the full moon day in the month of Magh, marks an important bathing date, especially for Kalpwasis—those who spend the entire month living on the banks of the Ganges in simple tents, following strict spiritual disciplines.
For Kalpwasis, this day represents the culmination of their month-long penance. They complete their vows by taking a final holy dip and offering prayers, having lived a life of austerity, meditation, and daily rituals throughout the month.
