The large number is the Gregorian date; the gold number is the tithi (lunar day) of the month. Coral cells mark the start of a new lunar month. A tithi that touches no sunrise is skipped, so a date may be missing.
About the Telugu Panchangam
The Telugu calendar is lunar and amanta: each month runs from one new moon to the next, and the twelve months run Chaitra, Vaishakha, Jyeshtha, Ashadha, Shravana, Bhadrapada, Ashwin, Kartik, Margashirsha, Pausha, Magha and Phalguna. The year turns on Ugadi (Chaitra Shukla Pratipada) in March–April, and the era is the Shaka.
The date shown is the tithi (lunar day). Everything is computed live for Hyderabad by the modern drik method rather than reproduced from a printed almanac.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Telugu Panchangam?
The Telugu Panchangam is the traditional almanac of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It follows a lunar (amanta) calendar whose twelve months — Chaitra, Vaishakha, Jyeshtha, Ashadha, Shravana, Bhadrapada, Ashwin, Kartik, Margashirsha, Pausha, Magha and Phalguna — each run from one new moon to the next. Each day carries its tithi, nakshatra, the Shaka year and the festivals of the Telugu people.
How is the Telugu month reckoned?
It is amanta: a month runs new-moon to new-moon, and the date is the tithi (lunar day) — Shukla Pratipada to Purnima, then Krishna Pratipada to Amavasya. A tithi that touches no sunrise is skipped (kshaya) and one that spans two is repeated (adhika), just as in a printed panchangam.
When is Ugadi (Telugu New Year)?
Ugadi falls on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, the first day of Chaitra, in March–April. In 2026 it is 19 March, beginning Shaka year 1948. It is the same day as Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra.
How is this panchangam calculated?
The lunar month, tithi, nakshatra and festivals are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa) for Hyderabad by the modern drik method — so the Telugu date and festivals are precise rather than copied from a printed almanac.
