Guntur follows the Telugu Chandramana (amanta) calendar.
Well-known temples: Sri Panakala Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Mangalagiri (near Guntur), Sri Amaralingeswara Swamy Temple, Amaravati (near Guntur).
At Mangalagiri, panakam (jaggery water) is offered to the deity, and the hill temple is especially busy on Narasimha Jayanti.
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.
