User:Sravanthi Telasula/Telugu months

Telugu months: Twelve Telugu months. Thirty days a month. Fifteen days a fortnight. Each month begins with the Shukla Paksha Padyami (the date following the new moon) and ends with the new moon. Each month has two fortnights:

1. Shukla Paksha or Shuddha Paksha (the first day of each month from Padyami thidi to the full moon): The moon rises with each passing day and the nights become whiter and brighter. (Shukla means white).

2. Krishna Paksha or Bahula Paksha (from Padyami Tithi after the full moon of each month till the new moon): The day is full of moon and the nights are full of darkness. (Krishna means black).
