Ahmedabad follows the Gujarati (amanta) calendar, in which the new year (Bestu Varas) begins the day after Diwali.
Well-known temples: Shri Jagannathji Temple, Jamalpur, Bhadrakali Temple, ISKCON Temple.
The Jagannath Rath Yatra on Ashadhi Bij, nine nights of Garba in Navaratri and Uttarayan kite flying on Makar Sankranti are the city's signature festivals.
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
