Masi Magam

Masi Magam is an important Hindu festival celebrated mainly in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry during the Tamil month of Masi. In 2026, it falls on 3 March. On this day, temple deities are taken in grand processions to seas, rivers, or temple tanks for a sacred bath (Theerthavari). Devotees believe that taking a holy dip on Masi Magam purifies the soul, removes sins, and brings spiritual renewal and divine blessings.
