Telugu people celebrate all their festivals in its most traditional form. They are always abiding by the rules set for worshipping the almighty and have a lot of days in the month on which they keep a fast. Though fasting on every other day is not recommended, numerous fasting days are only meant to be picked by the devotee. For instance, some people fast on the Ekadashi, some prohibit eating rice on that day but do not observe a fast. Similarly on Purnima, many people observe a fast. Donations are made and prayers are performed on these days. Before we discuss these fasts further, let’s first find out which are the days on which a festival is falling and will be called a holiday in our Telugu Calendar 2020:
