Magh 2027 festival dates

Vasant Panchami

Vasant Panchami marks the start of spring and is the day of Saraswati puja. Students place their books and pens before the goddess, and young children are often started on their first letters (aksharabhyas) on this day. Yellow is the colour of the day, in clothes and in the food. The calendar also marks Sant Tukaram Maharaj's birthday at Dehu on the same date.

Rath Saptami

Rath Saptami is the birthday of Surya, the sun god, who is pictured riding a chariot pulled by seven horses. Women draw the chariot in rangoli in front of the house, and milk is boiled in a pot on a small fire of cow-dung cakes until it overflows, facing the rising sun. In many homes it is also the last day of the Sankranti haldi-kunku season that started in January.

The sun moves into Kumbh rashi at 10:08 am the same morning, according to the calendar.
