If you are searching for the Telugu Calendar June 2026 (తెలుగు క్యాలెండర్ 2026 జూన్), this page gives you a complete, verified list of festivals, vrats, sankranti dates, and Panchangam details for the month, based on the traditional Telugu calendar followed across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Every date below has been cross-checked against reliable Panchang sources, so you can plan your pujas, fasting days, and family celebrations without any confusion.
June 2026 falls during Jyeshtha Masam in the Telugu calendar, and it is an unusual month because Adhika Jyeshtha Masam (an extra lunar month) comes to an end partway through, before Nija Jyeshtha Masam begins. This shift affects a few festival dates compared to a normal year, so we have double-checked each one carefully. Let’s go through the full month, date by date.

Telangana Formation Day – 2 June 2026 (Tuesday)
June opens with Telangana Formation Day, marking the creation of Telangana as a separate state on 2 June 2014. Government buildings across Hyderabad and other district headquarters are decorated, and official ceremonies, flag hoisting, and cultural programs are held throughout the state. It is a fixed-date observance every year, unaffected by the lunar calendar.
Sankatahara Chaturthi & Masik Shivaratri
Two important monthly vrats fall early and mid-month. Sankatahara Chaturthi, dedicated to Lord Ganesha, falls on 4 June 2026 (Thursday). Devotees observe a fast through the day and break it only after sighting the moon in the evening, praying for the removal of obstacles. Masik Shivaratri, dedicated to Lord Shiva, follows on 13 June 2026 (Saturday), when many devotees observe a night vigil and visit Shiva temples for special abhishekam.
Mithuna Sankranti & the End of Adhika Jyeshtha Masam – 15 June 2026
15 June 2026 (Monday) is an important transition day in the Telugu Panchangam. It marks Amavasya (new moon), the Sun’s entry into Mithuna Rashi (Mithuna Sankranti), and the conclusion of Adhika Jyeshtha Masam, the extra lunar month that began earlier in the Telugu calendar year. After this date, the regular Nija Jyeshtha Masam takes over for the rest of the month. Adhika Maas periods are traditionally considered good for charity, pitru tarpanam, and completing pending religious vows before the regular month resumes.
Nirjala Ekadashi & Gayatri Jayanti – 25 June 2026 (Thursday)
Nirjala Ekadashi, observed on the Shukla Paksha Ekadashi of Jyeshtha Masam, falls on 25 June 2026. It is considered the most rigorous of all the Ekadashi vrats in the Hindu calendar, since devotees fast completely without food or water for the entire day, in honor of Lord Vishnu. Gayatri Jayanti, celebrating the appearance of Goddess Gayatri, is traditionally observed on this very same Ekadashi tithi in Jyeshtha Masam, so both occasions fall together on 25 June 2026.
A quick correction: several calendar listings online, including some circulating templates, place Gayatri Jayanti a day earlier on 24 June 2026. Based on verified Panchang tithi data, the correct Ekadashi tithi — and therefore Gayatri Jayanti — falls on 25 June 2026, the same day as Nirjala Ekadashi, not the day before. We are flagging this because a one-day error can throw off puja planning, and this particular mix-up appears on more than one calendar page online.
Muharram – 26 June 2026 (Friday)
Muharram, observed on Ashura, the tenth day of the Islamic month of Muharram, falls on 26 June 2026 in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, in line with the rest of India. Since the Islamic calendar depends on moon sighting, this date can occasionally shift by a day in some regions. Processions and mourning gatherings are held in cities like Hyderabad, Vijayawada, and Kurnool, and government offices and banks remain closed for this gazetted holiday.
Eruvaka Pournami – 29 June 2026 (Monday)
Eruvaka Pournami, observed on the full moon (Purnima) of Jyeshtha Masam, falls on 29 June 2026. This is one of the most heartfelt festivals for the farming community across Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and Telangana, marking the traditional start of agricultural work ahead of the monsoon. Farmers worship their ploughs and farm animals, decorate bulls and cows, and offer prayers to Bhudevi (Mother Earth) asking forgiveness for any harm caused while ploughing through the year. In rural areas, this day is celebrated with almost the same enthusiasm as major festivals like Sankranti.
What Are Mrigashira Karte and Arudra Karte?
Readers new to the Telugu Panchangam sometimes ask what a “Karte” actually is. Karte days mark the Sun’s entry into a specific nakshatra (star constellation) rather than a rashi (zodiac sign), and they are used mainly by farming communities to track seasonal changes tied to the monsoon. Mrigashira Karte, falling on 8 June 2026, traditionally signals the early pre-monsoon period, while Arudra Karte, falling on 22 June 2026, marks a point closely associated with the strengthening of monsoon rains across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Farmers have historically used these Karte transitions to time sowing and other field preparations, alongside festivals like Eruvaka Pournami later in the month.

Weather in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana During June 2026
June sits right at the edge of the southwest monsoon season for both states, so weather can vary quite a bit through the month. Cities like Hyderabad and Warangal usually see daytime temperatures easing slightly from the peak of May, while coastal Andhra cities such as Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam tend to stay hot and humid until the monsoon rains arrive. By the last week of June, many districts start receiving their first proper monsoon showers, which is exactly why Eruvaka Pournami, the farmers’ festival, is timed for this point in the month. If you are planning outdoor events or temple visits, early morning or early evening tends to be more comfortable than the middle of the day.
Long Weekends and Travel Planning in June 2026
If you like to plan short trips around festival dates, June 2026 offers one useful pocket. Muharram falls on Friday, 26 June 2026, which pairs naturally with the weekend that follows, giving families in Hyderabad, Vijayawada, and Warangal a good window for a short getaway to nearby hill stations or temple towns before the monsoon fully sets in. Popular weekend destinations from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh during this period include Ananthagiri Hills near Vikarabad, the temple town of Srisailam, and the Araku Valley from Visakhapatnam, all of which tend to look their best just as the first monsoon showers arrive.
Why This Calendar Matters
The Telugu Panchangam plays a central role in daily life across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, guiding everything from puja timings and vrat days to auspicious dates for weddings, griha pravesham, and new business ventures. Families rely on it to plan fasting days like Ekadashi and Sankatahara Chaturthi, while farming communities time key agricultural activities around festivals like Eruvaka Pournami. Government employees and students also track gazetted holidays like Muharram and Telangana Formation Day when planning their leave and academic schedules. Keeping one verified, accurate calendar page handy makes all of this far easier.
