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 4 days Fri, 22 Dec
- Masik Durgashtami in 6 days Sun, 24 Dec
- Pausha Putrada Ekadashi in 9 days Wed, 27 Dec
