11:51 AM – 12:44 PM
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
- Parama Ekadashi in 2 days Wed, 10 May
- Pradosh Vrat in 3 days Thu, 11 May
- Amavasya in 6 days Sun, 14 May

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.
