Ugadi, also known as Yugadi, is a festival celebrating New Year’s Day for Hindus from the Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana states of India. The term Ugadi means ‘beginning of a new age’, and the festival is celebrated on the first day of the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Chaitra.
The name Ugadi or Yugadi is derived from the Sanskrit words Yuga (age) and ādi (beginning): “the beginning of a new age”. According to some Hindu texts, Ugadi marks the god Brahma’s creation of the universe.
Ugadi is a joyful holiday, and celebrants begin the day by bathing, applying oil to the body, putting on new clothes, and offering puja. Hindu women also draw intricate geometric designs, called rangoli, in front of the home. Also important is attending a temple to hear a recitation of the astrological almanac for the coming year (panchangam 2024 sravanam).
Ugadi’s culinary centerpiece is ugadi pachadi, a special kind of chutney. The mixture typically consists of tamarind, neem flowers, jaggery, salt, chili pepper, and raw mango. The combination of flavors symbolizes the variety of emotions one might experience in the coming year: tamarind is sour, neem is bitter, jaggery is sweet, mango is tangy, and chili is fiery or angry. A common belief is that your year will be bitter if you taste more neem in a bite of ugadi pachadi, while it will be sweet if your portion has more jaggery.
In Karnataka state, ugadi pachadi is called bevu-bella, meaning “neem-jaggery”. The festival is celebrated with great fervor, particularly in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh³, and Karnataka. It is festively observed in these regions on the first day of the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Chaitra and typically falls in late March or early April of the Gregorian calendar..
