Next Telugu Festival: Bali Padyami (Govardhan Puja), Tuesday 10 November 2026

Next festival: Bali Padyami (Govardhan Puja) – Tuesday 10 November 2026 (today) in the Telugu states (Hyderabad, IST). Sukla Padyami: 9 November 2026 12:32 PM – 10 November 2026 2:00 PM IST.

This page always shows what comes next in the Telugu calendar: it is regenerated every hour from the same panchangam engine as the rest of the site, so the list moves on by itself as each festival passes. The 2026–27 festival season runs from Dasara through Deepavali, Karthika masam and Dhanurmasam to Sankranti; from today 23 season dates remain, the last on Saturday 16 January 2027. 13 of them fall on a different calendar day in at least one of New York, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Toronto, London or Sydney, because each city reaches the deciding tithi at its own local sunrise, sunset or moonrise; those dates are shown next to the India date. Karthika masam begins on Tuesday 10 November 2026, with 4 Karthika Somavaram (Monday) dates still ahead. Dhanurmasam, the month of Tiruppavai and the Mukkoti (Vaikuntha) Ekadashi, begins on Wednesday 16 December 2026. Each festival page gives the tithi timing, the rule that fixes the date, and for the main festivals a table of local timings for Indian, US, UK, Canadian and Australian cities.

Why is a festival on a different day in the USA?

A festival date is the day a tithi is current at a fixed part of the local day (sunrise, afternoon, evening or moonrise). The tithi ends at the same instant everywhere, but US clocks are 9.5 to 13.5 hours behind India, so the local day that meets the rule can be the previous calendar date.
