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 2020 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Telugu Panchangam lists 271 dates in 2020, opening with Masik Durgashtami on 3 January and closing with Margashirsha Purnima on 30 December. Of these, 219 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 26 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1941 – 1942. 2020 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 2020
Beyond the dates the Telugu Panchangam lists, 2020 brought 6 eclipses - 2 solar and 4 lunar - of which 4 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Ashwina, running from 18 September 2020 to 16 October 2020. Vasant Panchami fell on 29 January, 11 days earlier in the year than in 2019 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 2020
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 2020?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 271 dates in 2020, of which 219 are vrats. The first is Masik Durgashtami on Friday, 3 January 2020, and the last is Margashirsha Purnima on Wednesday, 30 December 2020.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 2020?
The first major observances of 2020 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Monday, 6 January 2020
- Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 14 January 2020
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 15 January 2020
- Vasant Panchami - Wednesday, 29 January 2020
- Ratha Saptami - Saturday, 1 February 2020
- Bhishma Ashtami - Sunday, 2 February 2020
Which month of 2020 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
November 2020 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Ishti, Atla Taddi, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Dhanteras, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya.
Which traditional year does 2020 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 2020 spans Shaka Samvat 1941 – 1942. 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 2020 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 2020 carried an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (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 2020 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 2020?
2020 had 6 eclipses:
- 11 January 2020 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 6 June 2020 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 21 June 2020 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 5 July 2020 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 30 November 2020 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 14 December 2020 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2020?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2020:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Makara on 24 January 2020
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Makara on 30 March 2020
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 30 June 2020, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Makara on 20 November 2020
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 2020?
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.
