No festival or vrat falls today for your region.
That is a real answer, not a gap — most days of the year are ordinary days,
and a calendar that always has something to sell you is not a calendar.
Coming up
- Purnima tomorrow Mon, 22 Apr
- Sankashti Chaturthi in 4 days Thu, 25 Apr
- Krishna Shashti in 6 days Sat, 27 Apr
