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
- Purnima in 2 days Sun, 19 Dec
- Sankashti Chaturthi in 6 days Thu, 23 Dec
- Krishna Shashti in 8 days Sat, 25 Dec
