Ashwayuja is the festival month: Sharad Navaratri, Bathukamma, Durgashtami, Vijayadashami, Sharad Pournami, Atla Taddi, Dhanteras, Naraka Chaturdashi and Deepavali on its amavasya; Sharad ritu begins with 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.
