Telugu Calendar May 2026
The Telugu calendar for May 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 Vaishakha masam and Adhika Jyeshtha masam begins on Sunday 17 May 2026, Parabhava samvatsara. Amavasya falls on Saturday 16 May 2026 and pournami on Friday 1 May 2026, Sunday 31 May 2026. The ekadashis are Apara Ekadashi (13 May), Padmini Ekadashi (Adhika) (27 May). Festivals and vratams this month: Buddha Pournami (Vaishakha Pournami) (1 May), Hanuman Jayanti (Telugu) (12 May), Vata Savitri Vratam (16 May). Sunrise in Hyderabad moves from 5:50 AM on the 1st to 5:40 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 Angarki Vaishakha Sankashti Chaturthi on 4 May in New York, Hanuman Jayanti (Telugu) on 11 May in New York, Apara Ekadashi on 12 May 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.
