Auspicious
— Abhijit Muhurta not considered on Wednesday
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
- Amavasya tomorrow Thu, 6 May
- Chandra Darshan in 2 days Fri, 7 May
- Shukla Shashti in 6 days Tue, 11 May
The rest of today

10:38 AM – 12:18 PM
1:37 PM – 3:23 PM
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 →

Your observances
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.
