Ekadashi Kab Hai
In short
Today, 6 October 2026, is Indira Ekadashi, which falls during the Krishna Paksha of the Ashwin month.
In plain words
Ekadashi is a holy day in the Hindu calendar occurring twice a month. Today's specific observance is Indira Ekadashi, a day dedicated to fasting and praying for ancestors.
A simple example
Devotees observe this day by fasting and performing Deep Daan, which involves offering lamps to seek blessings for their departed relatives.
Why it matters
Observing Indira Ekadashi is believed to help ancestors attain salvation or moksha. It is a significant part of the Pitru Paksha period.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse today's Indira Ekadashi with Papankusha Ekadashi, which will occur later this month on 22 October.
