Last year: Vaishakha Masam 2026 – Saturday 18 April 2026
Vaishakha is the month of Akshaya Tritiya, Sankara Jayanti, Nrusimha Jayanti and Buddha Pournami, and of the Telugu Hanuman Jayanti in its dark half; daily snanam and dana are prescribed for the whole month. 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.
