Do you live away from home and miss out many of the festivals and sometimes aren't even aware of dates of your favorite Marathi festivals? Don't know when is Holi, Ganesh jayanti, Rakshabandhan or Diwali? That happens with most of us in this busy and fast life.
You can always buy a Marathi Calendar to check the dates, but that would only be available at your home or wherever you live. It would have been better, if you could carry it everywhere you go and that could remind you of your interested dates and festivals. Yeah, there are many mobile Marathi calendar applications for your smartphones, but those also have some drawbacks. Like, they are huge in size and so consume lots of your phone memory, those are specific to a year only and so for next year you will have to install a new one again, and also those are only available on mobile, can't be checked online.
So, to simplify the availability of Marathi calendar you can follow below simple steps, with which you will be able to sync a Marathi calendar to your Google calendar application and so to your Android phone or any other calendar application that supports iCal calendars.
As of now I have added Marathi Calendar 2014 only. By end of the year I will add next year Calendar to it and will keep updating it for upcoming years. You don't need to do anything, added calendars will be synced to your Google Calendar and mobile Calendar automatically.
