Hi Is Vaikunta Ekdashi a regional holiday or is it celebrated all over India?
Hello Jennifer: This festival is celebrated all over south India mainly at temples and individual homes. No regional or national holiday for it.
The interfaith calendar you have created is a good one. Useful to find all kinds of festivals in one place.

Beautiful video. Feels great to hear this suprabatham early in the morning. It definitely has some magic.
