Ashadha Masam 2026 – Date

Ashadha Masam in 2026 falls on Wednesday 15 July 2026 in the Telugu states (Hyderabad, IST).

Ashadha is the month of Tholi Ekadashi, Guru Pournami and the Telangana Bonalu Sundays; chaturmasya begins on its ekadashi, and Dakshinayana usually begins during it. Telugu months are amanta lunar months: each begins the day after an amavasya (new moon) and is named for the solar sign the Sun occupies at that new moon. When two new moons fall in the same sign an adhika (extra) month is inserted and the festivals are kept in the nija month that follows. The start date is the first day whose sunrise-to-sunrise span begins in the new month.

Tithi timing

Sukla Padyami begins 14 July 2026 at 3:13 PM IST and ends 15 July 2026 at 11:51 AM IST.

How the date is decided

First Hindu day of each amanta masa (sukla padyami at sunrise; kshaya -> day the padyami begins).

Date by city

Different date in: Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Atlanta — the tithi is judged against each city's own sunrise and local time (daylight saving included), so the day can shift for cities west of India.
