Telugu Calendar తెలుగు క్యాలెండర్

Months are lunar (moon-phase based) but periodically corrected with an extra month (Adhika Masa) to stay aligned with the solar year — the same core mechanism as the pan-Indian Panchang, with Telugu names and regional festival emphasis.

Worth knowing

Ugadi ('Yuga-adi', the start of an age) falls on the same day as Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra and Ugadi in Karnataka — all three mark the same lunisolar new year, just with regional names and customs.

This is one of several living regional calendar traditions across India, all ultimately related to the same Panchang principles. See the Hindu Calendar overview for how they connect, or The Sanskrit Calendar for the pan-Indian Panchang system this site covers in depth.
