Tithi and masa at sunrise in Hyderabad; a "kshaya" tithi touches no sunrise. Pale yellow = Pournami, grey = Amavasya. Times in IST; a date in brackets means the next day. Festivals and vrats are those Drik Panchang lists for Hyderabad on the same day.

Frequently asked questions

Which Telugu month is it in December 2026?

Karthika (కార్తీకము) 1 December – 8 December and Margasira (మార్గశిరము) 9 December – 31 December. The Telugu month is amanta: it ends on Amavasya and the next begins with Shukla Padyami the day after.

When are Pournami and Amavasya in December 2026?

Pournami on Thursday, 24 December, Amavasya on Tuesday, 8 December. These are the tithis at sunrise in Hyderabad; a fast can fall on another day (the Purnima fast is often a day earlier), so for a vrat follow the festival list or ask your purohit.

Which samvatsara is it in December 2026?

Parabhava samvatsara (Shaka 1948). The samvatsara changes at Ugadi (Chaitra Shukla Pratipada).

How is the Rahu kalam worked out?

The day from sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts and one part is taken by weekday: the 2nd on Monday, 3rd on Saturday, 4th on Friday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 7th on Tuesday and 8th on Sunday. Sunrise and sunset for Hyderabad agree with Drik Panchang within a minute.

Which city are the times for?

For Hyderabad. A tithi or nakshatra changes at the same moment all over India; in Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada or Tirupati sunrise, sunset and Rahu kalam move by a few minutes.
