During this time period, the auspicious Kumbh Mela is held every twelve years, and the Magh Mela is held on an annual basis at the confluence of three rivers or Triveni Sangam around North India, in cities such as Allahabad or Prayag.Devotees pray to Lord Vishnu on this occasion, observe Satyanarayana Vrat and bathe in the Ganges River for spiritual purposes. They also perform charity and pray to Chandra Dev. People bathe in the Ganges or Yamuna early in the morning during the month of Magh.
