Pushya is the month of Sankranti: Bhogi, Makara Sankranti and Kanuma fall in it, along with Vaikuntha Ekadashi in many years and Shattila Ekadashi; new ventures are traditionally avoided in Pushya until Sankranti. 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 8 January 2027 at 1:54 AM IST and ends 9 January 2027 at 4:34 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 9 of 215 cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Suva — the tithi is judged against each city's own sunrise and local time (daylight saving included), so the day can shift for cities far from India.
