The Telugu Calendar year starts on the day of Ugadi. Since, this festival marks start of the new year in the Telugu culture.

Telugu new year i.e. Ugadi for the year 2019 is on April 6th and in the year 2020 Ugadi falls on March 25th.   The year 2019 corresponds to the Telugu calendar year of Vilambi till 5th April 2019 followed by Vikari from the 6th of April until the end of the year.

As per Telugu calendar traditions,  each Yuga has a cycle of 60 years. These year names change on the day of the Ugadi festival.  Each year of the Telugu calendar has a specific name in the Panchangam (traditional Hindu calendar in Telugu). The Telugu calendar has 60 names corresponding to each year. Every 60 years a yuga gets completed and the names repeat in the next Yuga (next cycle). For example, the Telugu name for 1954 is “Jaya” which again got repeated after 60 years in 2014.

Ugadi is the Telugu new year festival that comes in the spring season (usually March or April). On this day many trees especially Neem trees bear fresh flowers and leaves.   The Ugadi festival is widely celebrated by Telugu people. On this day other neighboring states like Maharastra and Karnataka also celebrate new year.

The calendar that is used in the western world was instituted by Pope Gregory XIII in the year 1582 AD. For your convenience in the table below the western calendar year and the corresponding Telugu year name is provided with the current year coming first.
