It marks the beginning of the Kalpavas period, especially important at Prayagraj during the Magh Mela and Kumbh-related gatherings.
Many people perform charity (daan), especially donating food, clothes, or blankets due to the cold season.
It is also important for Satyanarayan Puja and Vishnu worship.
