Last year: Chaitra Masam 2026 – Thursday 19 March 2026
Chaitra is the first month of the Telugu lunar year, beginning with Ugadi and holding Sri Rama Navami on its ninth day; Vasanta ritu (spring) 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.
