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
- Apara Ekadashi in 3 days Sat, 20 May
- Pradosh Vrat in 4 days Sun, 21 May
- Masik Shivaratri in 6 days Tue, 23 May
The rest of today

10:36 AM – 12:17 PM
1:38 PM – 3:26 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.
