Magh (Punjabi calendar)

Māgh (Shahmukhi: ماگھ; Gurmukhi: ਮਾਘ, Punjabi pronunciation: [máːgᵊ]) is the eleventh month of the Punjabi calendar as well as the Nanakshahi calendar, which governs the activities within Sikhism. The Nanakshahi solar month begins on January 13, after Poh, and ends on February 12, being followed by Phagan. The traditional Punjabi Bikrami lunisolar month begins on the day after the Poh full moon and ends on the Magh full moon.

This month coincides with Magha in the Hindu calendar and the Indian national calendar, and January and February in the Gregorian and Julian calendars and is 30 days long.
