The following list of festivals for ISKCON Patna has been created independently of the Gaurabda or GCal Calendar published by the GBC Vaisnava Calendar Committee of the International Society for the Consciousness of Krishna (ISKCON). However, it follows the same rules for festivals, Ekadashi and Paraná as those followed by GCal. Ideally, both calendars should match and if you find a discrepancy, this may be due to a software error in one of the programs.
