The difference that matters abroad
Your Telugu birthday can land a day off from India. Sampangi gets your date right.
The day a tithi "counts" is decided by the tithi at local sunrise, and sunrise happens at a different clock time in Dallas than in Hyderabad. So the same Telugu birthday or festival can fall on a different Gregorian day in the US than it does back home.
Generic Telugu calendars only print the India dates. Sampangi does the astronomy for where you live, from the Bay Area to New Jersey to Atlanta to Chicago to Seattle, and simply tells you the day to call, cook, or celebrate.
Why this is hard
Telugu birthdays drift. Sampangi pins them down.
A Telugu birthday is a tithi, a moment in the moon's cycle, not a fixed square on the Gregorian calendar. So it slides a little every year, and the day it actually falls on depends on where you are, because local sunrise decides the date.
Far from home, that usually means a phone call to India, squinting at a panchangam, or just guessing, and missing it. Sampangi does the astronomy for you, for where you live, and simply tells you the day. Learn how Telugu birthdays work →
