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
- Pausha Putrada Ekadashi in 2 days Mon, 8 Jan
- Pradosh Vrat in 4 days Wed, 10 Jan
- Purnima in 7 days Sat, 13 Jan
The rest of today

7:19 AM – 8:36 AM
9:22 AM – 10:44 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.
