About the Kannada calendar
The Kannada calendar (Kannada Panchanga) follows the Shalivahana Shaka era with Amanta lunar months. The year begins on Ugadi, Chaitra Shukla Padya, and each year carries one of 60 samvatsara names.
Tithi and nakshatra are those running at sunrise in Bengaluru; the moon shape is for 8 PM. Printed almanacs can differ by a day where a tithi or sankranti falls close to the cut-off, so check your local panchang for important dates.
