The special festivals of the god are fixed for the months of Shabat and Ulul, the eleventh and sixth months, and provision is made for the regular maintenance of the cult. It must, of course, not be supposed that, because Nin-ib appears to be a favorite of the king, the latter concentrates his attentions upon this god.
Festivals in honor of Ninib were celebrated in Calah in the months of Elul the sixth month and Shabat the eleventh month. The sixth month, it will be recalled, is sacred to Ishtar. Ninib being a solar deity, his festival in Elul was evidently of a solar character.
