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 Mon, 18 Dec
- Masik Durgashtami in 3 days Wed, 20 Dec
- Mokshada Ekadashi in 6 days Sat, 23 Dec
