Since it falls on two significant Hindu holidays, February 5 has great spiritual meaning. This day is Magh Ashtami, a festival celebrated on the eighth day of the month of Magh. Magh Ashtami is regarded as the best time to engage in spiritual activities, such as taking a holy plunge in the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, and is well-known for emphasizing devotion, almsgiving, and meditation. Additionally, this holy day coincides with Gupt Navratri, a time for spiritual activities.
Bhishma Ashtami, a day steeped in the epic Mahabharata, is also celebrated on February 5. On this day, before leaving the world of mortals, Bhishma Pitamah lay on his bed of arrows, waiting for the Sun to change into Uttarayan and Shukla Paksha.
