Vijayawada follows the Telugu Chandramana (amanta) calendar.
Well-known temples: Sri Kanaka Durga Temple, Indrakeeladri, Sri Malleswara Swamy (on the same hill).
Dasara Navaratri is the city's biggest festival, with the Goddess decorated in a different alankaram each day and the Theppotsavam (float festival) on the Krishna river.
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.
