Telugu Festivals in May 2026
Every Telugu festival, vratam, ekadashi, amavasya and pournami of May 2026 with its date in the Telugu states (Hyderabad, IST), the tithi behind it, and the date in the United States (New York) when it differs. 10 entries. Dates are computed from the amanta Telugu calendar rules stated on each festival page, with the tithi checked against Hyderabad's sunrise, midday, afternoon, dusk or midnight as each festival requires. May 2026 spans Vaishakha masa and Adhika Jyeshtha masa (from 17 May), Parabhava samvatsara. Sankashti Chaturthi: 5. Masa Sivaratri: 15. Pradosham: 14, 28. The month has 2 ekadashis (Apara Ekadashi 13, Padmini Ekadashi 27), 1 amavasya and 2 pournami. Dates abroad can be a day earlier: each festival page lists the local date in every city, and each city has its own festival list. Government holidays and Muslim/Christian dates are not included; solar 'karte' entries and monthly pradosham/sivaratri are on the daily pages.
