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
- Somvati Amavasya in 2 days Mon, 18 Dec
- Chandra Darshan in 3 days Tue, 19 Dec
- Shukla Shashti in 8 days Sun, 24 Dec
The rest of today

7:11 AM – 8:27 AM
9:13 AM – 10:34 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.
