Indian Festivals Calendar 2013

For determining the dates of religious festivals and for selecting auspicious times to begin socio-religious activities, it is the lunar calendar that is consulted by all Indians.

We have tried to put together a well-researched calendar that highlights the Indian fasts, festivals, auspicious and the not-so-auspicious days in 2013. If you can add to the list for the benefit of more readers in the comments below, we will be grateful.
