In India, the Telugu year is the calendar year for the Telugu speaking people of Andhra Pradesh & Telangana states and Yanam.

Each Yuga (Era) has a cycle of 60 years. Each year of Ugadi year has a specific name in Panchangam (Astronomical calendar) based on astrological influences and the name of the year would represent the character of that year.[1] The calendar includes 60 year names.[2] Every 60 years, one name cycle completes and the names repeat in the next cycle. For example, the Telugu name for 1954 is "Jaya", repeated in 2014. Ugadi is the Telugu new year festival that comes in the spring season (usually March or April). These years always change on Ugadi.

The year 2023 is a Sobhakrutu year.

Significance

Main article: Hindu units of time

In ancient days Yogis (saints) interact directly with God, according to that, they have given information related to our Indian Kalachakra (time-cycle) in relation to Lord Brahma. Below is the Indian Kalachakra (time-cycle):

60 years = Shashti Poorthi

432,000 years = Kali Yuga

864,000 years = Dvapara Yuga

1,296,000 years = Treta Yuga

1,728,000 years = Satya Yuga

4,320,000 years = Chatur Yuga (Total 4 Yuga)

71 Chatur Yuga = Manvantara

1,000 Chatur Yuga = Kalpa a.k.a. Brahma day (= 14 Manvantara + 15 Manvantara-sandhya)

Kalpa + Pralaya = Brahma Day (day + night)

30 Brahma Days = Brahma month

12 Brahma months = Brahma year

100 Brahma years = Brahma lifespan a.k.a. Maha-kalpa of 311.04 trillion years (followed by Maha-pralaya of equal length)
