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
- Pradosh Vrat tomorrow Sun, 17 Mar
- Bhaumvati Amavasya in 3 days Tue, 19 Mar
- Chandra Darshan in 4 days Wed, 20 Mar
The rest of today
Inauspicious periods
9:31 AM – 11:00 AM
1:59 PM – 3:28 PM
6:33 AM – 8:02 AM
8:56 AM – 10:31 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.
