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.
