Welcome The Telugu New Year - 16 March

Every Indian festival has its own purpose with a significance and known for celebrating in style and grand manner. They could symbolise seasonal change, a new year, signify a value or stand for a great occasion.
Ugadi - the Telugu New Year Day, is observed on Chaitra Shuddha Padyami of the Hindu calendar.  There is a great significance and cultural importance behind celebrating Telugu New Year on March 16, Tuesday. The word Ugadi is derived from Sanskrit, which means beginning of a new year. (Yuga – era, aadi – beginning) and this day marks the beginning of the new Hindu lunar calendar with a change in the moon’s orbit. The 60-year cycle brings us the new year by name  ‘Vikruti’ samvatsara this year.
It also heralds the onset of the spring – synonymous with ushering in of new life on earth. Spring is considered as the first season of the year indicating a new beginning. The trees shed old leaves paving way for the new one. The occasion signifies commencement of a new phase in life with renewed vigour and energy, past the defeats and unpleasant moments of the bygone year.
Various rituals mark the ushering in of the new era.Temples and homes are decorated on this day. The entrances are decorated with fresh mango leaves.[like the image embeded on top of this blog.] The “Ugadi Pachadi”  - a special item to be consumed during early hours, is prepared with neem leaves, jaggery, raw mango, tamarind juice, green chilli and a pinch of salt. The ingredients symbolise six tastes – bitterness, sweet, tang, sourness, heat and saltiness corresponding to six experiences of anger, happiness, disgust, sadness, fear and surprise. 
Ugadi, a celebration of life, thus announces the beginning of all that is new under the sun.
