Devotees keep a fast and do Pooja according to the Tithi of the specific day. There is a confusion among people regarding the date of Magha Purnima as to which day should take fast and pooja be observed, on the 11th or the 12th of February? 
So according to the almanac, the Tithi will begin on 11 February at 6:41 in the evening and will end on the 12th February at 6:53 in the evening. Since the tithi of the fast starts with sunrise in the 12th of February. Hence the fast will be valid or 12th of February.
