Months of the Telugu Calendar in 2030
The Telugu Calendar does not begin its year on 1 January, so each of its months straddles two Gregorian ones. These are the months that ran through 2030, covering Shaka Samvat 1951 – 1952. A month marked part is one the Gregorian year cuts short at its own start or end.
| Month | Begins | Ends | Days |

What the sky brings in 2030
Beyond the dates the Telugu Calendar lists, 2030 brings 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 3 are above the horizon somewhere in India. Ugadi (Telugu New Year) falls on 3 April, 11 days earlier in the year than in 2029 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 2030
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Telugu date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Jun 11:58 AM | Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) | Jyeshtha Amavasya | Yes - Sutak observed |

| 10 Dec 3:57 AM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) 1 day after Datta Jayanthi | Margashirsha Krishna Pratipada | Penumbral only |
Sutak Kaal is observed for 2 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.
Guru and Shani in 2030
| Date | Graha | Sign change |
|---|---|---|
| 25 Jan 2:00 AM | Guru (Jupiter) | Tula → Vrishchika |

- Bhogi - Sunday, 13 January 2030
- Makara Sankranti (Pedda Panduga) - Monday, 14 January 2030

- Thaipusam - Sunday, 20 January 2030

September 2030 is the fullest month with 6 dates, including Vinayaka Chavithi, Rishi Panchami, Skanda Shashthi, Bathukamma Begins, Mahalaya Amavasya, Sharad Navratri.
Which traditional year does 2030 correspond to in the Telugu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2030 spans Shaka Samvat 1951 – 1952. 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.
Will there be an Adhik Maas in 2030?
No. 2030 has 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.
Will there be any eclipses in 2030?
2030 has 4 eclipses:
- 1 June 2030 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 16 June 2030 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 25 November 2030 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 10 December 2030 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak will be observed
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 2 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2030?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2030:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishchika on 25 January 2030
- Shani (Saturn) enters Vrishabha on 17 April 2030
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Tula on 1 May 2030, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishchika on 23 September 2030
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 2030?
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 Calendar opens on the current month.
