Importance of bathing in the Ganges on Mauni Amavasya
It is believed that the waters of the Ganges become nectar-like on Mauni Amavasya. This is why Mauni Amavasya is considered the most important day for bathing in the Ganges. Devotees travel from far and wide to bathe in the Ganges on this day. Bathing in the Ganges is considered significant not only on Mauni Amavasya but throughout the month of Magh. Many devotees pledge to take a holy dip in the Ganges every day. This ritual of bathing in the Ganges daily begins on Paush Purnima and continues until Magh Purnima.
