Ugadi, the New Year festival for Telugu and Kannada communities, marks the beginning of the Hindu lunisolar calendar. It signifies new beginnings, prosperity, and growth, aligning with the arrival of spring. The name Ugadi comes from "Yuga" (age) and "Adi" (beginning), symbolizing a fresh start.
The festival is celebrated with rituals, temple visits, and traditional foods, including Ugadi Pachadi, a mix of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors representing life's different emotions. People also clean homes, wear new clothes, and prepare for the year ahead with positivity.
Even if you're traveling from DFW to BOM, you can celebrate Ugadi by visiting local temples, cooking festive dishes, or joining community events. This festival isn't just about tradition—it's a reminder to embrace life's ups and downs with grace.
Wishing you a joyous and prosperous Ugadi!
