The Thakur Prasad calendar lists every tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana with IST-based timings, so you can plan your rituals precisely. Major festival highlights and fasting dates should be marked on your personal calendar now so you don’t miss important observances.
Key festivals and observances for January often include Makar Sankranti, regional jatras, and vrat days such as Ekadashi or Sankashti. For each festival the Thakur Prasad calendar provides the Gregorian date, the corresponding tithi, and recommended puja steps. For instance, Makar Sankranti is observed with morning baths, offerings of sesame and jaggery, and community activities like kite flying in many states. Ekadashi fasts are observed with satvik food, mantra recitation and Vishnu puja; Sankashti vrat for Lord Ganesha is kept till moonrise and broken only after the prescribed time. Use the calendar entries to confirm whether a vrat is nirjala (waterless) or a partial fast, and to check any special regional notes.
