Telugu year names: Parabhava nama samvatsaram now, and all 60 samvatsaralu

The present Telugu year name is Parabhava nama samvatsaram (2026–27), the 40th of the 60-year cycle. It ends with Ugadi on Wednesday 7 April 2027, when Plavanga nama samvatsaram begins.

Telugu years are not numbered but named: a cycle of 60 samvatsaralu (Prabhava, Vibhava, Shukla … Akshaya) repeats, and each name begins on Ugadi, Chaitra Sukla Padyami, in March or April. The current year, Parabhava (2026–27), followed Vishvavasu and is followed by Plavanga from Wednesday 7 April 2027. Because a Telugu year straddles two Gregorian years, a date in January–March belongs to the name that began the previous spring: for example 1 January 2027 is still Parabhava, and the name for a birthday depends on whether the date falls before or after that year's Ugadi. The table gives every name in order with its Telugu spelling and the Gregorian years it covered in the last four cycles (Prabhava in 1867, 1927, 1987 and next in 2047); the year finder below lists the name for every year from 1950 to 2047. The cycle is the same in the Kannada and Marathi calendars; the Tamil names differ in spelling only. Names are given as the engine and most Telugu almanacs print them; where other almanacs spell a name differently (Pramoduta for Pramoda, Vrishaprajaa for Vrisha, Anala for Nala) the alternative is shown in brackets. Ugadi dates on this site are computed from the new moon and the Sun's position, the same rule as the festival pages.
