Why we Celebrate Masi Magam ?
Masi Magam is celebrated during the auspicious Magam Nakshatra in the Tamil month of Masi. Astrologically, it signifies the alignment of the Moon in Magha Nakshatra with the Full Moon, making it a time to cleanse one's karma through rituals. Devotees offer prayers and bathe in sacred waters to purify their mind and spirit, seeking divine blessings and forgiveness for past deeds.
