Note: Year number (Shalivahana Shaka) uses the same fixed-April rollover heuristic as Marathi/Telugu, a reasonable stand-in since Kannada's real new year (Yugadi) is also Chaitra Shukla Pratipada — but that's a lunar tithi that moves year to year, not a fixed Gregorian date. Month name itself is a real Amanta-calendar computation.

The Kannada panchanga is closely related to the Telugu and Marathi calendars: an Amanta lunisolar system with the Shalivahana Shaka era and Yugadi as new year.
A daily entry lists the tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga and karana, together with the inauspicious windows Rahu Kala, Yamaganda and Gulika Kala, which are widely followed in Karnataka.
