How the times are calculated
Telugu Panchangam calculates every time on your phone by the Drik method: the positions of the sun and the moon from modern astronomy, with the Lahiri ayanamsa, for the town you choose. The times are for that town’s sunrise and local clock.
Times may differ from printed panchangams
A printed panchangam is made for one town, and some use the older Siddhanta method or another sunrise rule. So a time in the app can differ by some minutes, and on some days a tithi, a nakshatra or a festival can fall on a different day. The app says so on the days where this is likely, and shows both days when a published source names a different one.
Festival dates
Each festival date is worked out from its rule and checked against published references, such as the holiday lists of the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments. Where sources differ, the app shows a tag and names both. Families and temples may follow their own tradition.
Rituals and important dates
For an abdikam, a muhurtham or any ritual date, confirm with your family purohit. When the rule allows two days, the app shows both and does not choose one for you.
Not affiliated
Telugu Panchangam is not affiliated with any temple, mutt or government body. It does not speak for any tradition. It gives no horoscopes, rasi phalalu or predictions.
Reminders and the widget
Reminders and the widget change on time if you allow alarms. Otherwise Android may show a reminder up to about an hour late, and the widget may change up to about 10 minutes late.
Sources
The app’s list of towns is built from GeoNames data, which is licensed under CC BY 4.0. Positions of the sun and the moon come from the open-source Astronomy Engine library.
Accuracy
We test the calculations against published references. Even so, we cannot promise that the app is free of mistakes. If a time or a date looks wrong, please tell us which town, which date and which printed panchangam you compared it with.
