Bengaluru follows the Kannada Chandramana (amanta) calendar, with the year beginning at Ugadi.
Well-known temples: Sri Dodda Basavanna (Bull Temple), Basavanagudi, Sri Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple, Sri Banashankari Temple.
The Bengaluru Karaga is held in Chaitra month, the Kadalekai Parishe groundnut fair is held at the Bull Temple in Kartika month, and on Makar Sankranti the evening sun shines on the Linga at Gavi Gangadhareshwara.
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
