What is Ugadi?

Ugadi, also known as Yugadi, is a festival celebrated primarily by Telugu and Kannada communities in the South Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, among others. It marks the beginning of the Hindu lunisolar calendar year, falling on the first day of the month of Chaitra. The name "Ugadi" is derived from two Sanskrit words: Yuga, meaning "era," and Adi, meaning "beginning."

The festival is observed with great enthusiasm, featuring traditional customs such as drawing colorful rangoli patterns (Muggulu) on the floor, decorating doorways with mango leaf decorations (Torana), and exchanging gifts, including new clothes. People also engage in charitable acts, perform oil massages followed by ritual baths, prepare and share a special dish called pachadi, and visit temples to seek blessings for the new year.
