The other name of Margashirsha Amavasya is Agahan Amavasya. The Margashirsha is also called Agrahayana, Magsar and Agahan.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">On this day, we perform the Pitru Puja, which helps the house&#8217;s ancestors become liberated.

We worship Lord Vishnu and Shiva on this day.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Also Read: <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/blog\/rama-ekadashi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rama Ekadashi 2026: Rituals, Significance And Puja Muhurat<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Story and Importance of Margashirsha Amavasya<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">People have many mythological beliefs associated with Margashirsha Amavasya. We say that on this day, Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, was born. Lord Shiva performed the Tandava Nritya (dance of destruction) on this Amavasya. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">On this day, Lord Vishnu, the protector of the Universe, took the form of Lord Vamana. The Asuras and the Gods churned the ocean of milk, Kshira Sagar, to get the nectar of immortality. The other story is about Lord Krishna, who tells the Gopis of Vrindavan to take a dip in any holy river. If they do it, they can get him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Importance of the Festival<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">This Festival is significant in Hinduism and Astrology. On this day, we perform various puja rituals to cleanse ourselves of negative energies, as Lord Shiva performed the Tandava Dance. Performing Tila Tarpan and Pind Daan helps our ancestors attain liberation. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Donating necessary things to people in need on this Amavasya can bring good karma. The Rudraabhishek and Mahamritunjay puja done on this day can bring us happiness, positivity, and prosperity. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">Astrology associates the Festival with the planet Saturn. If you perform Shani puja, this can reduce the malefic effect of the planet Shani and bring you good luck.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">We should give Arghya to the sun. This can help us receive the Sun God&#8217;s blessings and divine grace. Bathing in the Ganga can help us become sinless, purify our minds and souls, and attract positive energies into this universe.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong>The Rituals of the Margashirsha Amavasya<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\">In Margashirsha Amavasya 2026, they will perform various puja rituals again.
