Kumbh 2019: Devotees from around the world gather in Sangam
'Mauni Amavsya' on Monday marks the second 'Shahi Snan' (royal bath) of the 50-day Kumbh Mela -- the largest congregation in the world.
It is believed that on this day, first sage Rishabh Dev broke his long vow of silence and bathed in the holy waters. Many devotees take up a vow of silence on this day.
Basically, 'Mauni Amavasya' is the new moon day of the Magha month, which falls in late January or early February. It assumes greater significance if it falls on a Monday during the Kumbh, which happens to be the case this time.
