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 Wed, 25 Apr
- Sankashti Chaturthi in 5 days Sun, 29 Apr
- Krishna Shashti in 7 days Tue, 1 May
