11:56 AM – 12:36 PM
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
- Saphala Ekadashi in 2 days Thu, 18 Dec
- Pradosh Vrat in 3 days Fri, 19 Dec
- Somvati Amavasya in 6 days Mon, 22 Dec

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.
