Importance of Holy Bath and Donations
Taking a holy bath on Margashirsha Amavasya is considered highly auspicious. Pilgrims often bathe in sacred rivers like the Ganga or Yamuna, or visit local temples. If visiting a river is not possible, mixing Ganga jal in home water for bathing is believed to cleanse sins. After the bath, performing charitable acts enhances spiritual benefits. Donating items like food, clothing, and sesame seeds on this day is considered highly meritorious and brings blessings for prosperity and well-being.
