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
- Mokshada Ekadashi tomorrow Fri, 25 Dec
- Pradosh Vrat in 3 days Sun, 27 Dec
- Purnima in 6 days Wed, 30 Dec
