Here is a list of upcoming special days (fasting days and celebrations) that are generally observed by Vaishnavas. Because of the somewhat complicated procedures of calculating these calendars, the days may vary on different parts of the world, and be calculated differently in different traditions. Here, we present a list of upcoming special days for the upcoming 6 months, in 4 different parts of the world. The dates have been calculated for some central location of respective continent, and may vary for other parts of the continent.

NOTE: Ekaadas''ii is a special fasting day, observed by many Vaishnavas and also by non-Vaishnava Hindus. In some traditions, the fasting is sometimes done on the following day instead, and is then called mahaa-dvaadas''ii. The exact details vary from one tradition to another.

NOTE(2): For those dates, which are marked with a "#"-sign, the day should be observed on a different date for certain parts of the continent. Please see the maps at www.vaishnava-calendar.info for more information.
