Preamble

I have tried to type this from Telugu script to English for those who can not read Telugu and are interested to know about these puraana kadhalu. Though I have tried to write in to-to but still there may be some mistakes in translation. I therefore request the readers to bring such mistakes so that I can amend the draft.

Like Kartika puraanam the Magha puraanam need not be read one per day but you can read any number of stories in one day. But you have to complete the study within Magha month.
