Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsMāghamāsa (माघमास) refers to the months of February-March which is associated with various festivals, as discussed in chapter 27 of the Puruṣottamasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text consisting of more than 1800 verses devoted to temple-building and the practical concerns of the Pāñcarātra priestly community.—Description of the chapter [saṃvatsarotsava-vidhi]: Bhagavān says that the (liturgical) year starts with the vasanta season. On the first day of this—to satisfy the deity who is guardian of that period—the vasantotsava festival is celebrated (1-3). [...] In “māghamāsa” month [ February-March], tilapadmotsava is to be done on the fifth day of the bright fortnight (51-59a). In “phālguna”-month [March- April] mahālakṣmyutsava is celebrated (595-66).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
