AI explanation of calculated facts — traditional guidance, not a prediction
How the date is determined
- In the Amanta system (months end at the new moon) this is Pausha Krishna Paksha Amavasya; in the Purnimanta system used in most of North India (months end at the full moon) the same day is called Magha Krishna Paksha Amavasya.
- It falls on the day when this tithi prevails at local sunrise (udaya tithi).
- If the tithi is present at two sunrises (a vriddhi tithi), the first day is taken.
- If the tithi does not touch that period on any day (a kshaya tithi), the Hindu day on which the tithi prevails longest is used.
- In a year with an Adhik month of the same name, it is observed in the regular (Nija) month.
Traditional variation
Bathing and charity go by the Amavasya at sunrise. Tarpana and shraddha of the Amavasya go by the Aparahna and can fall on the previous day. The Mela administration at Prayagraj announces its bathing days in advance.
This is the date given by the rule shown above for the selected place. It is not the only valid date: regional Panchangs, family customs and sampradayas may observe it on a different day.
Rule source: Magha-snana on the Amavasya of Magha (Purnimanta), the bathing day of the Magha Mela (Nirnaya Sindhu, Pariccheda 2, Magha-masa); for snana-dana the day on which Amavasya prevails at sunrise (udaya tithi), the first if at two sunrises; touching no sunrise, the day that contains it
