Festival dates follow lunisolar calendars and move every year, so they are listed explicitly rather than derived.

Questions about scheduling this corridor

What is the best time for a meeting between India and Europe?

2 PM to 6 PM IST works for every city on this page at once. Outside that, each city has a wider window of its own — the table below gives them individually.

Which side should move outside normal hours?

Alternate it. When one side always takes the 7 AM or 9 PM call, that side disengages over time. Teams that sustain these corridors tend to rotate the burden, keep the synchronous meeting short, and push status updates into written handovers that cross the gap overnight.

Do daylight saving changes affect these windows?

Yes, for any city that observes it. India never shifts, so each DST changeover moves the overlap by a full hour in one direction. A recurring calendar invite pinned to a city’s local time will silently move relative to IST twice a year — worth re-checking in March and late October.
