Frequently asked questions
- What month system does the Telugu calendar use?
- The Telugu calendar is Amanta lunisolar: months run from new moon to new moon, as used across South India.
- Why do month start dates shift each year?
- Lunar months track the Moon (about 29.5 days) and solar months track the Sun’s entry into each sign; neither matches the Gregorian calendar exactly, so start dates move by a day or two from year to year.
