The Telugu calendar holds immense importance for Telugu-speaking communities, offering a structured guide to festivals, auspicious days, and religious observances. Rooted in the ancient traditions of the lunisolar system, the Telugu calendar serves as a beacon for planning spiritual and cultural events.
This comprehensive guide to the 2025 Telugu calendar will help you navigate through the year with key dates, festival details, and cultural insights.
Understanding the Telugu Calendar
The Telugu calendar, also referred to as the Panchangam, follows the lunisolar method, where both the moon's phases and the solar year are considered. It plays a vital role in determining:
-
Festivals: Identifying dates and times for celebrations.
-
Auspicious Days: Planning events like weddings, housewarming ceremonies, and naming rituals.
-
Religious Observances: Aligning with fasting days (vrathas) and pooja timings.
-
Agricultural Activities: Guiding farmers with seasonal cycles.
Structure of the Telugu Calendar
The year is divided into 12 months, beginning with Chaitra and ending with Phalguna. Each month includes Shukla Paksha (waxing phase) and Krishna Paksha (waning phase). Key markers like Pournami (full moon) and Amavasya (new moon) are central to the calendar.
