When speaking of special days in February, the first festivity that pops in our mind is Valentine’s Day. Despite being a Western celebration, the ‘Festival of Love’ has become immensely popular in India. The eight-day Valentine Week (Rose Day, Chocolate Day, Kiss Day, and so on) is celebrated with much joy and enthusiasm by the young lovers.
But February is not only about Valentine’s Day. It has several other important festivals and memorable days such as Vasant Panchami or Saraswati Puja, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, Guru Ravidas Jayanti and more. One of the four Navratri, Gupt Navratri in Magha will also be commemorated this month. Let us look at the February 2019 calendar in detail, the important days and events to commemorate, along with religious festivals, birth and death anniversaries.
