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
- Amavasya in 2 days Thu, 29 Dec
- Chandra Darshan in 3 days Fri, 30 Dec
- Shukla Shashti in 8 days Wed, 4 Jan
