The Hindu New Year is known by different names in different regions of the country. In the southern states, it is called Ugadi while in Maharashtra it is celebrated as Gudi Padwa.
Ugadi
Ugadi is made up of two Sanskrit words – “Yuga” and “Adi”, which mean a new beginning. Ugadi or Yugadi is primarily marked in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka. The rituals include making floral patterns on the floor and preparing delicious feasts.
