Month by month
What is Magam Nakshatra?
Magam's lord is Ketu and its rasi Simmam. The Magam near Maasi's full moon is Masi Magam, the day of the theerthavari at Kumbakonam's Mahamaham tank and on the seashore; once in twelve years it is the Mahamaham. Those born under Magam use these dates for an archanai on their birth-star day each month. Each date here is the day the star holds at midday; when it holds at two middays running, both days are shown.
What can you do on Magam star day?
The monthly Magam is not a fast day. For those born under Magam it is the birth-star day that comes round once a month: a visit to the temple and a janma nakshatra archanai in their own name and star at the shrine of your chosen or family deity is all it asks.
- Bathe in the morning and light the lamp at home
- An archanai at the shrine of your chosen or family deity, giving your name and star
- If you can, feed someone or give a small gift
On Masi Magam, a dip at the temple theerthavari or in the sea is the custom.
