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 in 2 days Sat, 7 Dec
- Masik Durgashtami in 4 days Mon, 9 Dec
- Mokshada Ekadashi in 6 days Wed, 11 Dec

These are periods traditionally avoided for starting something. They do not move a festival — an observance fixed by its own rule stays where the rule puts it. More →
