How many people speak Telugu, and in which states?
Telugu is the mother tongue of 8,11,27,740 people in India, about 8.1 crore, according to the Census of India 2011 1. That is 6.70% of the population, the fourth-largest language after Hindi, Bengali and Marathi 1.
The number of Telugu speakers grew by 9.63% between 2001 and 2011, from 7,40,02,856 1. Telugu's share of India's population fell from 8.16% in 1971 to 6.70% in 2011 1.
| State or UT | Telugu speakers per 10,000 people (2011) |
|---|---|
| Andhra Pradesh (undivided, incl. Telangana) | 8,355 |
| Andaman and Nicobar Islands | 1,324 |
| Puducherry | 596 |
| Tamil Nadu | 587 |
| Karnataka | 584 |
| Odisha | 159 |
| Maharashtra | 118 |
The 2011 census was taken before Telangana became a separate state, so its figures are counted inside undivided Andhra Pradesh 1. In that state, 887 of every 10,000 people named Urdu as their mother tongue 1.
What are the Telugu names for doshams, Saturn periods and matching?
Telugu astrology words keep their Sanskrit roots with Telugu endings, so most Telugu families already know them from elders and the Ugadi panchangam. The table lists the common ones in Telugu script with how they are said.
| Telugu | Said as | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| జ్యోతిష్యం | jyotishyam | Astrology |
| జాతకం / పెళ్లి జాతకం | jatakam / pelli jatakam | Birth chart, and the chart taken out when a match is proposed |
| జాతక పొంతన / గుణ మేళనం | jataka pontana / guna melanam | Horoscope matching; guna melanam is the score out of 36 8 |
| నాడీ దోషం | nadi dosham | Both partners in the same nadi, the 8-point koota 8 |
| కుజ దోషం | kuja dosham | Mars in certain houses, counted from lagna, Moon and Venus 2 |
| ఏలినాటి శని | elinati shani | Saturn's seven-and-a-half-year transit around the Moon sign |
| అష్టమ శని | ashtama shani | Saturn moving through the 8th sign from the Moon sign |
| కాలసర్ప దోషం / సర్ప దోషం | kalasarpa dosham / sarpa dosham | All planets between Rahu and Ketu 6 |
| పితృ దోషం | pitru dosham | A chart pattern linked to ancestors |
| మౌఢ్యమి | moudhyami | Venus or Jupiter too close to the Sun; weddings are put off 3 |
| వివాహ ముహూర్తం | vivaha muhurtham | The wedding time fixed from the panchangam |
| పంచాంగ శ్రవణం | panchanga sravanam | The public reading of the new year's almanac at Ugadi 5 |
| నామకరణం | namakaranam | Naming ceremony of a baby |
Telugu matching is usually called guna melanam, the eight-koota system scored out of 36 that Muhurta Chintamani describes 8. In that scheme nadi carries the most points, 8 8. A Telugu astrologer reads the score together with kuja dosham in both charts.
Telugu families add a calendar check before any date is fixed. Venus and Jupiter each have a moudhyami, a stretch when the planet sits close to the Sun and is read as weak 3. Weddings, house-warmings and upanayanams are usually not held then 3.
You can ask a Telugu-speaking astrologer about any of these on Kismo by chat or call, and get up to three other astrologers suggested afterwards for a second opinion.
Which calendar do Telugu astrologers use, and why does Ugadi matter?
Telugu astrologers use a lunar calendar of the amanta kind, where each month ends on the new moon 7. Drik Panchang lists Andhra Pradesh among the amanta states 7. The year begins at Ugadi, on the first day of Chaitra.
Ugadi is when Telugu families hear the year's forecast read aloud. In March 2026 both states marked the start of the year named Sri Parabhava, with Ugadi pachadi and panchanga sravanam, according to IANS 5. The Telangana government's main function was held at Ravindra Bharathi in Hyderabad 5.
The official reading is old enough to have its own disputes. In 2007, Hinduism Today reported objections to Andhra Pradesh's Ugadi holiday because the date fell on a new moon with a solar eclipse 9. The government said 33 of 39 Agama schools backed its date and added an optional holiday 9.
Telugu almanac writers have their own association. In 2024 Deccan Chronicle quoted the president of the Telangana-AP branch of the Drik Siddhanta Almanac Writers Association explaining that moudhyami means dull or inactive 3. That year Venus moudhyami ran from 28 April to 11 July and Jupiter's from 3 May to 2 June 3.
How do Telugu families use astrology for weddings and doshams?
Wedding dates in Telugu homes bunch up just before an inauspicious stretch begins. Gulf News reported more than 2 lakh weddings over one weekend in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana as an auspicious phase closed 4. The Andhra Pradesh Assembly declared a two-day holiday after about 100 members sought leave for weddings 4.
Many families prefer the months of Magha, Phalguna, Chaitra, Vaisakha and Jyeshta for weddings and thread ceremonies, according to Deccan Chronicle 3. B. V. Raman noted in 1948 that people in Andhra and Karnataka objected to weddings in Ashadha, unlike Tamil families 2. Temple halls at Annavaram and Dwaraka Tirumala are booked out in the good weeks 3.
For kuja dosham, Raman counted Mars in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the lagna, the Moon and Venus 2. He read it as weakest from the lagna and strongest from Venus, and wrote that it does not deserve the weight it is given 2.
Srikalahasti in Chittoor district is the best-known Telugu temple for Rahu-Ketu puja 6. Outlook reported about 10,000 people queuing daily for the puja, with tickets from ₹300 to ₹2,500 6. A Sri Venkateswara University historian told Outlook the Rahu-Ketu belief there grew only from the mid-1980s and 1990s 6.

Questions people ask
Can I get my jatakam read in Telugu over a phone call?
Yes, many Vedic astrologers read jatakams in Telugu over a phone call or a chat. You share your birth date, time and place, and the astrologer explains the chart in Telugu, or in a mix of Telugu and English if you prefer. Elders can join the call. Choose an astrologer who lists Telugu so the whole session stays in your language.
Kuja dosham ante emiti, and does it stop a marriage?
Kuja dosham is the name for Mars sitting in certain houses of the chart, usually the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th. It does not by itself stop a marriage, according to many astrologers. B. V. Raman listed several exceptions and wrote that the dosham cancels when both charts have it. An astrologer reads it with the rest of both jatakams.
What does a Telugu astrologer charge per minute on Kismo?
On Kismo, Telugu astrologers charge from ₹15 a minute, and each one sets a single rate that covers chat and call. Money comes from a wallet you top up with at least ₹100, billed per started minute. Whatever you do not use stays in the wallet. Your first session carries 5 free minutes with no card.
Is a free Telugu astrology chat available anywhere?
Yes, a free first chat exists on some apps, and Kismo gives 5 free minutes on your first session without a card. Spend them on one focused question, for example whether elinati shani is running for you now. Have your birth details ready so no minutes go on setup. After that, the astrologer's per-minute rate applies.
Why are there no wedding muhurthams during Shukra moudhyami?
Weddings are avoided in Shukra moudhyami because Telugu almanacs read Venus as weak while it sits close to the Sun. Venus rules marriage in Vedic astrology, so most priests do not fix wedding dates then. Guru moudhyami, for Jupiter, is treated the same way. The dates change every year, so check the current panchangam.
How many gunas should match in Telugu pelli jatakam matching?
Many astrologers treat 18 of 36 gunas as the lowest acceptable score in guna melanam. The score comes from eight kootas, with nadi worth the most at 8 points. A high score alone does not settle a match, and a low one is not final either. Astrologers also look at kuja dosham and the 7th house in both jatakams.
What are the warning signs of a fake astrologer online?
The warning signs are fear, guarantees and pressure to pay. Be careful if someone insists you need an expensive sarpa dosham puja today, sells a stone on the spot, or asks you to pay outside the app. Kismo's astrologers go through a qualification review, a panel interview, live audits of sessions and a 30-day probation. Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual.
We live in the US. Can a Telugu astrologer fix a wedding muhurtham here?
Yes, a Telugu astrologer can fix a muhurtham for a wedding in the US, but it is worked out for the city where the wedding happens. Sunrise and the lagna change with the place, so give the venue's city and date range. Moudhyami and other calendar rules still apply. Ask the astrologer to give the time in local clock time.
