Festivals and observances

Masik Shivaratri

Reckoned for the city centre, sunrise to sunrise, in India time. The month is Purnimanta, as Varanasi follows, with the Amanta month beside it; the layout and windows follow Drik Panchang's day page. Temples and families may keep a local custom: confirm a muhurta that matters with your priest.
