Timings shown for New Delhi (IST) at sunrise - use the city box at the top to change it. Solar months begin by each tradition's own Sankranti rule (same-day, next-day, sunset or aparahna). Era years and lunar month names follow standard Vedic calculations and may differ slightly from regional almanacs around an Adhik Maas.
Telugu Panchangam 2018 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Telugu Panchangam lists 270 dates in 2018, opening with Anvadhan on 1 January and closing with Kalashtami on 29 December. Of these, 219 are vrats (fasting observances). January is the fullest month with 26 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1939 – 1940. 2018 carries an Adhik Maas (Jyeshtha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 2018
Beyond the dates the Telugu Panchangam lists, 2018 brought 5 eclipses - 3 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Jyeshtha, running from 16 May 2018 to 13 June 2018. Vasant Panchami fell on 22 January, 10 days earlier in the year than in 2017 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 2018
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 2018?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 270 dates in 2018, of which 219 are vrats. The first is Anvadhan on Monday, 1 January 2018, and the last is Kalashtami on Saturday, 29 December 2018.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 2018?
The first major observances of 2018 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Saturday, 13 January 2018
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Sunday, 14 January 2018
- Vasant Panchami - Monday, 22 January 2018
- Ratha Saptami - Wednesday, 24 January 2018
- Bhishma Ashtami - Thursday, 25 January 2018
- Thaipusam - Wednesday, 31 January 2018
Which month of 2018 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
January 2018 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Anvadhan, Pausha Purnima Vrat, Ishti, Pausha Purnima, Kalashtami, Shattila Ekadashi, Bhogi / Lohri, Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal.
Which traditional year does 2018 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 2018 spans Shaka Samvat 1939 – 1940. The traditional year does not begin on 1 January, so one Gregorian year usually covers the end of one era year and the start of the next.
Did 2018 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 2018 carried an Adhik Maas (Jyeshtha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month inserted roughly every third year to keep the lunar calendar in step with the solar one. Festivals falling after it shift later in the Gregorian year, which is why 2018 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 2018?
2018 had 5 eclipses:
- 31 January 2018 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 16 February 2018 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 13 July 2018 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 28 July 2018 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 11 August 2018 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 2 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2018?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2018:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 11 October 2018
Jupiter takes about a year to cross one sign and Saturn about two and a half, so these transits colour the whole year rather than a single week.
How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 2018?
Use the month grid above: pick a month from the selector, then tap any day to open its full panchang - tithi with start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Set your city in the box at the top first, because these timings are sunrise-based and shift with location. The Telugu Panchangam opens on the current month.
About the Telugu Panchangam
The Telugu Panchangam (Shalivahana Shaka, Ugadi new year). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Shaka year and the Amanta month.
Each day lists its tithi and paksha, the nakshatra, the weekday (vaar) and any festivals or vrats. Tap any day to see the full panchang for that date - tithi start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Use the month and year selectors to browse any year in the archive or plan ahead into the coming years.
This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
