2024 February Festivals Calendar, Hindu Puja Date Time

In Hinduism, the month of February holds cultural and religious significance with the celebration of various festivals. A major festival during this month is Vasant Panchami, which marks the arrival of spring. Devotees worship Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, music and arts and seek her blessings for knowledge and creativity. This festival is often associated with the colour yellow, and devotees may wear yellow clothes and offer yellow flowers to the goddess.

In some years, Maha Shivaratri, an important Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Shiva, may also fall in February. Devotees keep fast, perform rituals and visit Shiva temples during this auspicious night for blessings and spiritual growth.

Additionally, celebrations of Magha Purnima, the full moon day in the Hindu month of Magha, may take place in February. It has religious significance and devotees often participate in rituals, prayers and charitable activities on this day.

February, in Hinduism, becomes a time of reverence, cultural celebration, and acceptance of the cycles of nature as communities come together to celebrate the beginning of spring and engage in spiritual practices.
