Expansion
With the conclusion of Magh Purnima, the last month of the Hindu calendar has begun. Along with weddings, mundan and house warming, colorful festivals like Rangbhari and Holi as well as Mahashivratri will also be celebrated. Four yogas including Shivayoga on Mahashivratri and two yogas including Dhruva Yoga on Holi will fulfill the wishes of the devotees.
Phalgun, the month of color and enthusiasm, is starting from today i.e. 25th February and will end with Holi on 25th March. On the full moon day of this month, the moon is in the Phalguni constellation, due to which this month is called Phalguna. According to Acharya Ashok Dwivedi, National President of Kashi Vidvat Karmkand Parishad, there is a coincidence of Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, Shiva Yoga, Siddhi Yoga and Shravan Nakshatra on Mahashivratri. Occurrence of Mahashivratri in Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga gives special blessings of Lord Shiva. Fasting and worship in this yoga will bring desired success. If Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga occurs on Friday, its auspicious effect increases even more.
Colorful Ekadashi will be celebrated in Pushya Nakshatra
Pt. Deepak Malviya, member of Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust, said that on Rangbhari Ekadashi, Baba Vishwanath will go out in the streets of Kashi after performing Gauna of Mata.

The festival of Rangbhari Ekadashi will be celebrated on March 20 in Udaya Tithi and Pushya Nakshatra.
