Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 2021
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 2021?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 265 dates in 2021, of which 215 are vrats. The first is Sankashti Chaturthi on Saturday, 2 January 2021, and the last is Pradosh Vrat on Friday, 31 December 2021.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 2021?
The first major observances of 2021 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Wednesday, 13 January 2021
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Thursday, 14 January 2021
- Thaipusam - Thursday, 28 January 2021
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 16 February 2021
- Ratha Saptami - Friday, 19 February 2021
- Bhishma Ashtami - Saturday, 20 February 2021
Which month of 2021 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
November 2021 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Rama Ekadashi, Dhanteras, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Diwali (Lakshmi Puja), Narak Chaturdashi (Abhyang Snan), Ishti.
Which traditional year does 2021 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 2021 spans Shaka Samvat 1942 – 1943. 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 2021 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2021 had twelve lunar months with no Adhik Maas, so its festival dates fall in their usual Gregorian window rather than being pushed later by an intercalary month.
Were there any eclipses in 2021?
2021 had 4 eclipses:
- 26 May 2021 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 10 June 2021 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 19 November 2021 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 4 December 2021 - Total 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 2021?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2021:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 6 April 2021
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Makara on 14 September 2021, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 20 November 2021
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 2021?
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.
