The believers of the Hindu faith place a high value on the month of Magh. This month is dedicated to Magh Bath (Snan). In Prayagraj, a month-long Magh Fate (Mela) is organised. People travel from all over the world to attend this event and bathe in the holy Triveni. A Ganga bath around this period is believed to wash away sins. Those who worship Lord Vishnu should include Til (sesame) in their pooja on Shattila Ekadashi.

As per old beliefs, Lord Ganesh was born on Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha of Magh month. Hence, Ganesh Jayanti is celebrated on this day. Also, Saraswati Puja, or Vasant Panchami, is celebrated during this month. It falls on the Panchami Tithi of the Shukla Paksha of the Magh month. A tradition of bathing and donating is followed on this day. Some people also vow to not speak. Tarpan, Pinddan, and Shraddha Karm are done for the forefathers.
