Beyond the Hindu calendar
Per the 2011 Census (the most recent detailed religion breakdown available, at the Mukhed tehsil level, which includes the town and its surrounding villages), Mukhed is religiously mixed: about 85% Hindu, 9% Muslim and 5% Buddhist, with small Christian, Jain and Sikh communities. The Buddhist share reflects Maharashtra's Ambedkarite Buddhist movement, strong across Marathwada. Below are the major observances for the town's two largest minority communities — national/regional dates, since we don't have a verified Mukhed-specific calendar for a particular mosque or vihar.
Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi
