Telugu Calendar — Karthikamu 2026
The Telugu panchangam of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, read from Hyderabad on the Deccan. The year opens at Ugadi, and the sixty-year Samvatsara name that Ugadi announces is the one the panchangam is read under all year.
Karthikamu runs 10 Nov – 8 Dec 2026 — the amanta (new moon to new moon) month. Timings are computed for Hyderabad; the tithi and the month hold across India. Ritu: Autumn.

FAQ
Which reckoning does the Telugu calendar use?
Amanta — the month runs new moon to new moon, so each month opens on the Shukla Pratipada after Amavasya.
When is Ugadi?
Chaitra Shukla Pratipada — the first day of the first amanta month, in March or April. It opens both the year and the new Samvatsara name.
Why do some Telugu dates differ from a North Indian calendar?
Only the month label during Krishna paksha: the purnimanta reckoning of the Hindi belt names the waning fortnight after the following month. The tithi itself — and so the festival — is the same day across India.
What is an Adhika Masam here?
The leap month inserted when a lunar month holds no Sankranti. It takes the name of the month it shadows and is shown as its own month on this calendar.
