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
- Sharad Purnima in 2 days Wed, 20 Oct
- Sankashti Chaturthi in 6 days Sun, 24 Oct
- Krishna Shashti in 9 days Wed, 27 Oct
