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
- Sankashti Chaturthi tomorrow Fri, 13 Jan
- Kalashtami in 4 days Mon, 16 Jan
- Shattila Ekadashi in 7 days Thu, 19 Jan
