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 tomorrow Wed, 23 Dec
- Sankashti Chaturthi in 5 days Sun, 27 Dec
- Shukla Shashti in 7 days Tue, 29 Dec
