Thanks Bharatvarsh. Those names of months and days are essencially in Sanskrit and followed as that in majority parts of Bharat. Better term could be Hindu calendar and names, not just Telugu.

One question to Gurus:
sadar sivahi nai ab maatha, baranau visad ram-guna-gatha
samvat solah-sai-ekateesa, karahu katha hari pad dhari seesa
naumi bhaumvaar madhumasa, avadh puri yah charit prakasa
(Sri Tulsi Ram Charit Manas, Bal Kand)
[First respectfully bowing to Lord Shiva, I begin this saga of glory of qualities of Rama. Placing head at the feet of vishNu, Tulsi begins this recitation of Rama's story in the year of vikram samvat 1631. On a Tuesday, the 9th day of madhumasa (chaitra month), the story sheds its first light in the city of Ayodhya.]
In above, Tuesday is referred to as BhaumvAra and Chaitra as madhumasa. Was that a common term for mangalvAra at some point? I had heard elders/grand parents use the term Bhaumvara too.
