Visakhapatnam follows the Telugu Chandramana (amanta) calendar, with the year beginning at Ugadi.
Well-known temples: Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Simhachalam, Sri Kanaka Mahalakshmi Temple.
On Akshaya Tritiya, Simhachalam holds the Chandanotsavam, when the deity's sandal paste covering is removed for the year's only nija rupa darshan. The Thursdays of Margashira month draw large crowds to Sri Kanaka Mahalakshmi.
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.
