2. Magha Purnima (Feb 1)
The month begins with the sacred Full Moon of Magha. It is believed that on this day, the deities descend to earth to bathe in the holy rivers. It is the perfect day to perform Satyanarayan Puja at home to invite prosperity and peace for the month ahead.
🏡 Griha Pravesh Muhurats in February 2026
