Devalay in Telugu, for the whole family.

  • Telugu everywhere: Telugu is now the default language, alongside Hindi and English. Shlokas and the Gita appear
    in Telugu script, and the bundled Noto Sans Telugu and Tiro Telugu fonts keep text clear.
  • Telugu Panchangam:
    • Samvatsaram, masam, paksham, ayanam and ruthuvu.
    • Good times: Abhijit, Amrit Kalam and Brahma muhurtham.
    • Times to avoid: Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Durmuhurtham, Varjyam and Gulika.
    • Checked against Drik Panchang for Hyderabad. Covers 19 more Andhra Pradesh and Telangana cities, 47 cities in
      all.
  • Telugu festivals: Bhogi, Kanuma, Ratha Saptami, Varalakshmi Vratam, Engili Pula and Saddula Bathukamma, Atla
    Taddi and Nagula Chavithi. Their 2025 dates match published calendars.
  • Telugu and Carnatic songs: 16 recordings, about 7.5 hours: Annamacharya and Ramadasu keerthanas, Tyagaraja
    kritis and stotrams, by M.S. Subbulakshmi, Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna and P.B. Sreenivas. Saregama released them
    under CC BY 3.0. Sri Venkateswara Swamy is added as a deity.
  • A deity for each day: the home screen shows that day's deity's songs (Telugu homes: Monday Shiva, Saturday
    Venkateswara), and the morning reminder names the day's deity.
  • Bhakti videos: official TTD (SVBC) temple videos in a large swipe-up feed, easy for elders.
  • Wallpapers with Telugu blessings: write "ఓం నమః శివాయ" or your own words on sacred art, then set it as the
    wallpaper or share it.
  • Looks: five app colours, warmer light and dark themes, and a side navigation rail on tablets.
  • Firebase: Crashlytics crash reports, push announcements (by language topic) and a Remote Config force update.
  • Fixes:
    • The lock-screen and notification player now shows the song title and picture (it showed only
      "Devalay is running").
    • The app version in Settings is now correct.
  • Play Store: an App Bundle in every release, a Telugu and English listing, screenshots and a closed-testing
    guide (docs/PLAY_STORE.md).
