Magh Poornima originates from Magh Constellation. It is believed that Gods come on Earth in human form and take a dip in Prayag along with charity and chanting. This is why it is said that bathing in the Ganges on this day results in fulfilling your wishes and leads to salvation. As per the writings in Hindu scriptures, it becomes symbolic if Pushya Constellation appears on this date.
On the day of Magh Poornima, bathing, fasting, chanting, doing charity and worshipping in front of holy fire is carried out. Lord Vishnu is worshipped on this day, along with doing Shradh for ancestors and donating to the poor. Follow the puja vidhi as mentioned:
1. On the early morning of Magh Poornima, take a bath in a holy river, lake, nearby well or reservoir. After that, offer water to Lord Sun while chanting the mantras.

Every year at Tirthraj Prayag (Allahabad), Magh Mela is organized, also called Kalpvaas. Devotees from India and abroad travel down to this place to be a part of it. From centuries, the tradition of Kalpvaas is maintained in Prayag. Completion of Kalpvaas is done after taking a holy dip on the day of Magh Poornima. Residing on the banks of Tirthraj Prayag Sangam is known as Kalpvaas. Kalpvaas means studying Vedas on the banks of Sangam. Kalpvaas stands for patience, determination of non-violence and devotion.
