Indore Panchang October 2026

In October 2026 the sun rises in Indore as early as 06:18 on all 3 days from Thursday 1 October to Saturday 3 October and as late as 06:30 on Saturday 31 October — a spread of 12 minutes across the month. Sunset moves from 18:14 on Thursday 1 October to 17:49 on Saturday 31 October. The longest daylight is 11h 56m on Thursday 1 October and the shortest 11h 19m on Saturday 31 October.

That matters more than it sounds, because Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamaghanta are each one eighth of the interval from sunrise to sunset rather than fixed clock spans — so in Indore in October 2026 an eighth runs from 85 minutes to 90 minutes, and a table quoting a flat ninety minutes is wrong here by up to 5 minutes. Rahu Kaal on 1 October, a Thursday, is 13:46-15:15 — the 6th of those eight parts, which is the one a Thursday always takes.

Because the weekday chooses the part, Rahu Kaal’s position on the clock swings much further than sunrise does. Across October 2026 in Indore it begins as early as 07:48 on 5 October, a Monday, and as late as 16:42 on 4 October, a Sunday — 8h 54m apart, against a sunrise spread of only 12 minutes. There is no single “Rahu Kaal time” to memorise, here or anywhere.

Indore sits 1.35° west of New Delhi, which on longitude alone would put its sunrise 5 minutes later. Measured against the national table it actually runs from 2 minutes earlier to 5 minutes later across October 2026. It is a range rather than a constant because latitude bends the figure with the season while longitude only shifts it, and here that bend is worth 7 minutes across the month. The windows drift further than sunrise itself does: on the worst day in the table below the national panchang’s Rahu Kaal begins 10 minutes from Indore’s, because the same numbered eighth is being taken from a longer or shorter day. A national table would get Indore’s tithi right and every one of its times wrong.

Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are the same everywhere in India and are read at sunrise from the same DE421 table the rest of the site uses — listed here for completeness, not because they differ by city: across these 31 sunrises the nakshatra takes 27 of its 27 values and the tithi 28 of its 30. In October 2026 Purnima falls on 26 October; Amavasya on 10 October; the two Ekadashis on 6 October and 22 October.
