Which Telugu month is October 2026?
Bhadrapada and Ashwina, in Parabhava samvatsaram. The month runs new moon to new moon (amanta), as in the Telugu calendar.
Why are some US dates a day earlier?
A festival is fixed by the tithi at sunrise, sunset or moonrise in your own city. The USA is 9½ to 12½ hours behind India, so the same tithi often reaches the right time of day there one local day earlier.
