One of the features of Vaisnavism is the high number of festivals
in the year. Festivals provide an opportunity to remember Krishna
and His devotees and to increase one's spiritual practice. The year's
major festivals are marked by fasting, usually followed by feasting.
The Vaisnava year is based on a lunar calendar rather than a solar
calendar. This means that the dates of the festivals vary from year
to year.

Calendar for your area. We also have biographical information about the
Saints and Incarnations
