Telugu Calendar March 2026
The Telugu calendar for March 2026 below is computed for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (Hyderabad sunrise; Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Tirupati keep the same dates, only the clock times move by a few minutes). The month opens in Phalguna masam and Chaitra masam begins on Friday 20 March 2026, Vishvavasu samvatsara until Ugadi, then Parabhava. Amavasya falls on Thursday 19 March 2026 and pournami on Tuesday 3 March 2026. The ekadashis are Papamochani Ekadashi (15 Mar), Kamada Ekadashi (29 Mar). Festivals and vratams this month: Holi (3 Mar), Ugadi (Telugu New Year) (19 Mar), Vasanta Navaratri begins (19 Mar), Sri Rama Navami (27 Mar). Sunrise in Hyderabad moves from 6:34 AM on the 1st to 6:11 AM on the 31st. In the USA 5 of these dates fall a day earlier or later (the tithi is counted at local sunrise or at the festival's own time of day), for example Pradosham on 28 Mar in New York, Papamochani Ekadashi on 14 Mar in New York, Phalguna Amavasya on 18 Mar in New York; the table shows both. Each date links to the full panchangam of that day; the city calendars below give the same month for your own sunrise.
S = Shukla (Suddha) paksha, K = Krishna (Bahula) paksha; tithi and nakshatra at Hyderabad sunrise.
