Vrat calendar 📿 — the coming two months
Every tithi-defined observance ahead — Ekadashi, Pradosh, Sankashti Chaturthi, Purnima, Amavasya, Masik Shivratri and more — computed live from the panchang engine (Delhi, purnimanta). A vrat is kept willingly and gently: tradition excuses the unwell, the travelling, the pregnant and the very young without any “penalty”.

Solar and nakshatra-based festivals (Sankranti, Janmashtami…) live on the festival calendar; exact local timings for any day are on the daily panchang. Dates read at noon IST — where a tithi spans two civil days, traditions differ on which to observe (smarta vs. vaishnava for Ekadashi); your family's practice takes precedence.
