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, 11 May
- Masik Durgashtami in 5 days Thu, 13 May
- Mohini Ekadashi in 8 days Sun, 16 May
The rest of today
Inauspicious periods

1:57 PM – 3:37 PM
5:39 AM – 7:19 AM
8:18 AM – 10:05 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 →

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.
