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
- Shukla Shashti tomorrow Tue, 18 May
- Masik Durgashtami in 3 days Thu, 20 May
- Mohini Ekadashi in 6 days Sun, 23 May
