More context & who is affected

New Delhi's October 2026 calendar places Indira Ekadashi on October 6 and Papankusha Ekadashi on October 22, according to dates reported by The Economic Times.

For Indira observers in New Delhi, Drik Panchang gives October 7, 6:17-8:38 AM IST, as the Parana window for ending the fast.

Tithi boundaries are not fasting hours. Parana depends on local sunrise and the lunar calendar, so check your city's timings rather than applying New Delhi's window across India.

Tithi is not the fasting window

Tithi marks a lunar-calendar interval. Its boundaries help determine the observance date, but do not directly set fasting hours. Parana is the separate window for ending the fast.
