Masi Magam 2025: Date and Time 

What is Masi Magam?

Masi Magam is celebrated in the Tamil month of Masi when the Makam Nakshatra (Magha star) aligns. While this festival often coincides with the full moon (Pournami), its occurrence depends entirely on the presence of Makam Nakshatra, making it unique each year.

Rituals and Celebrations

A key highlight of Masi Magam is the sacred water immersion ritual. Temple idols (Utsava Murthis) are taken out in grand processions to rivers, ponds, or the sea for a ceremonial bath. Devotees gather in large numbers to witness this sacred event, taking holy dips themselves, as it is believed to cleanse sins and bring spiritual blessings.

Where is Masi Magam Celebrated?

Though widely observed in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, Masi Magam’s significance extends beyond India. Devotees in Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia also celebrate this sacred occasion, reinforcing its deep cultural and spiritual roots.

Masi Magam is a time of devotion, purification, and divine blessings, drawing together communities in faith and tradition.
