Maagha

"Maagha (माघ) might be confused with the nakshatra Magha (मघा)"

Maagha (Hindi: माघ "maagh") is a month of the Hindu calendar. In India's national civil calendar, Maagh is the eleventh month of the year, beginning on 21 January and ending on 19 February.

In lunar religious calendars, Maagh may begin on either the new moon or the full moon around the same time of year, and is usually the eleventh month of the year.

In solar religious calendars, Maagh begins with the Sun's entry into Capricorn, and is usually the tenth month of the year.

Maagha is also the name of a Sanskrit poet. He is supposed to have similie, word power, master meaning in his writings. (Upama kalidasasya, Bharavehe artha gauravam, Dandinaha padlaalityam, Maaghe santhi trayo gunah: Maagha has all three)
