The Telugu Panchangam is a traditional calendar system widely used in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, India. It's a complex system based on the lunar cycle and incorporates various elements to guide daily life. Here's a breakdown of the key information you'll find in a Telugu Panchangam:
1. Tithi (తిథి):
This refers to the lunar day within a fortnight (either waxing or waning moon).
There are 15 tithis in each fortnight, named from Padhyami (First Day) to Amavasya (New Moon) and Purnima (Full Moon).
Each tithi has specific characteristics and is considered auspicious or inauspicious for certain activities.
2. Nakshatram (నక్షత్రం):
These are the 27 lunar mansions along the ecliptic path of the moon.
Each nakshatra is believed to have a ruling deity and influences different aspects of life.
The Panchangam will indicate the nakshatram for each day.
3. Vaaram (వారం):
This simply refers to the day of the week, just like the Gregorian calendar.
The days are named after the seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, etc.) in Telugu.
4. Masam (మాసం):
This refers to the lunar month.
There are 12 months in the Telugu calendar, each with a specific name.
5. Yogam (యోగం):
This is the combination of a lunar day and a tithi.
There are 27 yogas, each with its own characteristics and influence on daily activities.
6. Karanam (కరణం):
This is a half-day segment within a tithi.
There are 11 karanas, and they are believed to influence the outcome of undertakings.
7. Rahu Kalam (రాహు కాలం):
This is considered an inauspicious time period each day, believed to be ruled by the demon Rahu.
It's generally advised to avoid important activities during this time.
8. Gulika Kalam (గుళిక కాలం):
Similar to Rahu Kalam, this is another inauspicious time period.
The duration and influence can vary depending on the Panchangam source.
9. Yamaganda Kalam (యమగండ కాలం):
This is a very short period considered extremely inauspicious.
It's best to avoid any undertakings during this time.
10. Amruta Ghatialu (అమృత ఘడియలు):
These are considered auspicious time periods within a day.
Undertakings initiated during these times are believed to have a higher chance of success.
