Magh Mela 2026 - Basant Panchami : 23 January 2026 : Prayagraj

Basanta Panchami and Saraswati Puja in honour of the Hindu goddess Saraswati, is a festival that marks the preparation for the arrival of spring. The festival is celebrated in Indian religions in different ways depending on the region. Vasant Panchami also marks the start of preparation for Holi, which take place forty days later. The Vasant Utsava (festival) on Panchami is celebrated forty days before spring, because any season's transition period is 40 days, and after that, the season comes into full bloom.

Magh Mela is one of the most sacred annual religious gatherings in India, held on the holy banks of the Sangam in Prayagraj, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers meet. Rooted deeply in Hindu tradition, Magh Mela draws millions of devotees, saints, and pilgrims who gather to take ritual dips and perform spiritual practices during the auspicious month of Magh.

Thanks to Mr Rahul Ganguli, Prayagraj Philatelic Society for this special cover and desk calendar of the society.

Happy Republic Day
