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
- Angarki Sankashti Chaturthi in 3 days Tue, 1 Jan
- Krishna Shashti in 5 days Thu, 3 Jan
- Kalashtami in 7 days Sat, 5 Jan
The rest of today
Inauspicious periods

1:39 PM – 2:56 PM
7:17 AM – 8:33 AM
9:19 AM – 10:41 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 →

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.
