How the Telugu calendar works
Months are named Chaitra to Phalguna after the sign the Sun is in at the new moon that starts them; when the Sun stays in one sign for a whole lunar month, that month is adhik (extra). Each day is named by the tithi at sunrise.
Ugadi is Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, in March or April. The Shaka year and the samvatsara name change on that day.
