Telugu Calendar 2026

The Telugu Panchangam is a traditional Hindu calendar system that combines lunar and solar calculations to track time. Unlike the Gregorian calendar which is purely solar, the Panchangam tracks five key elements (Pancha means five, Anga means limb): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (constellation), Yoga (auspicious period), and Karana (half-day). It provides essential information for determining auspicious times for religious ceremonies, festivals, and important life events based on Vedic astrology principles.

The yearly calendar view provides a comprehensive overview of all 12 months at once, making it easy to plan ahead for festivals, auspicious days, and important events throughout the year. You can see major festivals, Ekadasi days, Pournami (full moon), and Amavasya (new moon) days at a glance. Click on any specific date to view detailed Panchangam information including Tithi, Nakshatra, Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, and auspicious timings for that day.

Each lunar month in the Telugu Panchangam is divided into two fortnights called Pakshas. Sukla Paksha (also called Shukla Paksha) is the bright fortnight when the moon is waxing from new moon to full moon, spanning 15 Tithis. Krishna Paksha is the dark fortnight when the moon is waning from full moon to new moon. Many festivals and auspicious activities are performed during Sukla Paksha, while certain rituals for ancestors are conducted during Krishna Paksha.

Ekadasi is the 11th Tithi (lunar day) that occurs twice every lunar month - once during Sukla Paksha (waxing moon) and once during Krishna Paksha (waning moon). It is considered highly auspicious in Hindu tradition, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Devotees observe fasting, prayers, and spiritual practices on Ekadasi days. The yearly calendar marks all Ekadasi days, making it easy to plan your spiritual observances throughout the year. Some important Ekadasis include Vaikunta Ekadasi, Amalaki Ekadasi, and Nirjala Ekadasi.
