How this calendar is worked out
- Read at sunrise — A Hindu calendar day runs from sunrise to sunrise; the Tithi and Nakshatra that hold at sunrise name the day, even if they change later in the day.
- Computed, not copied — Every value comes from the real sidereal (Lahiri) positions of the Sun and Moon — the same engine as the daily Panchang, checked against Drik Panchang.
October 2026 day by day — Delhi
Each day shows the Tithi and Nakshatra at local sunrise, then sunrise and sunset and any festival or vrat. Festival dates are reckoned for New Delhi (a city far to the east or west can occasionally keep one a day apart); the Tithi, Nakshatra, sunrise and sunset in each box are for Delhi.

Questions about October 2026
When is Purnima in October 2026?
Purnima (the full-Moon Tithi at sunrise, New Delhi) falls on 26 Oct 2026.
When is Amavasya in October 2026?
Amavasya (the new-Moon Tithi at sunrise, New Delhi) falls on 10 Oct 2026.
Why does the Tithi in a day’s box sometimes differ from the festival listed?
Each box shows the Tithi at sunrise in the chosen place. Some festivals are kept by another time of day — Diwali by the evening (pradosh), Janmashtami by midnight, Sharad Purnima by moonrise — so a festival can sit on the day before or after the box whose sunrise Tithi matches it.
Which Ekadashi dates are in October 2026?
Ekadashi falls on 6 Oct and 22 Oct 2026 (New Delhi; the fasting day follows the Smarta rule used on BornClock’s festival calendar).

How to read a day
The first line of each day is its Tithi (lunar day) and Nakshatra (the Moon’s star) at local sunrise — the classical way a Hindu calendar names the day. Below are sunrise, sunset and any festival or vrat. Tap a city or search any town to see its own sunrise times; open today’s full Panchang for Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, Gowri Nalla Neram and more.
Festival dates use the same rules as our festival calendar; in our tests the Tithi and Nakshatra end times agree with Drik Panchang to within 2 minutes. How we check accuracy →
