Auspicious
— Abhijit Muhurta not considered on Saturday
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
- Chandra Darshan tomorrow Sun, 17 Dec
- Shukla Shashti in 5 days Thu, 21 Dec
- Masik Durgashtami in 7 days Sat, 23 Dec
The rest of today

8:11 AM – 9:27 AM
10:13 AM – 11:34 AM
These are periods traditionally avoided for starting something. They do not move a festival — an observance fixed by its own rule stays where the rule puts it. More →

Your observances
Nothing saved yet. Saved vrats and family dates arrive with accounts in the next phase; for now the vrat calendar lists every recurring observance with its upcoming dates, and every festival page has a calendar subscription link.
