Good to know
- Hindu festival dates follow Drik Panchang for New Delhi, so a few may fall a day apart in your city or community. Check locally before booking a launch.
- Islamic festival dates depend on the moon sighting and are marked “Date may shift a day”. Keep those posts ready but flexible.
- Days marked “Awareness, not sales”, like Muharram, Good Friday or World Mental Health Day, call for respectful or helpful posts, never a discount.
- Festival dates that move each year are filled in to the end of 2027. Beyond that, the Month view shows fixed days only.
- Your industry, filters and view are remembered in this browser. Big gifting festivals like Diwali and Raksha Bandhan need content ready a few weeks early.
