Auspicious
— Abhijit Muhurta not considered on Saturday
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 3 days Tue, 24 Mar
- Masik Durgashtami in 5 days Thu, 26 Mar
- Annapurna Puja (Basanti Ashtami) in 5 days Thu, 26 Mar
The rest of today

6:28 AM – 7:58 AM
8:52 AM – 10:28 AM
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 →

Nothing saved yet. Saved vrats and family dates arrive with accounts in the next phase; for now the vrat calendar lists every recurring observance with its upcoming dates, and every festival page has a calendar subscription link.
