The Telugu new year starts from Ugadi. Ugadi is one of the traditional festivals of Andhra Pradesh. Ugadi is celebrated with different names in different parts of the country like Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, Thappan in Rajasthan, Cheti Chand in Sind etc. In Andhra Pradesh the ritual of Ugadi begins with getting up early in the morning, after getting ready for prayers it is a tradition to eat Ugadi Pacchadi, combination of Sweetness, bitterness, hot and sour... It is not only at Andhra Pradesh, similar kind is the tradition in every culture to mark its significance, celebrated on 11th April (Thursday)

Gudi (Flag) Hoisting is the most important event of Gudi Padwa. The Gudi (Flag) is hoisted on a Bamboo staff. The Gudi (Flag) is crafted out of Green and Yellow Silk cloth. On the top of the Bamboo pole, a bright goblet decorated with flowers is hanged. The Gudhi is decorated with Neem leaves, Mango leaves, red flowers and sweets (Gaohi). Rangoli is drawn around the Gudi in front of house to mark prosperity.

Dear Friends,

The Hindu calendar has begun a New year from today and most Hindu communities celebrate this special start in a great way. It is not necessary that all the regions have their new year on the same day. The month of Chaitra marks the beginning of the year for most communities...

UGADI in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka - The Telugu and the Kannada New Year falls on the first day of the month of Chaitra (March-April). People in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka states in the South of India believe that Lord Brahma began the creation of the universe on this auspicious day of Ugadi.

GUDDI PADWA in Maharashtra and Goa -In Maharashtra, the new year is celebrated as Gudhi Padwa - a festival that heralds the advent of spring (March-April). Early on the morning of the first day of the Chaitra month, people finish their ablutions, wear new clothes and decorate their houses with colorful "rangoli" patterns. A silk banner is raised and worshipped, and greetings and sweets are exchanged. People hang "gudhis" on their windows on this day to celebrate Mother Nature's bounty. A "gudi" is a decorated pole with a brass or a silver vessel placed on it.

CHETTI CHAND for Sindhis - Cheti Chand falls on on the first day of the month of Chaitra, also called 'Cheti' in Sindhi. This day is observed as the birthday of Jhulelal, the patron saint of the Sindhis. On this day, Sindhis worship Varuna, the water god and observe a number of rituals followed by feasts and devotional music.

BAISAKHI in Punjab - "Baisakhi", traditionally a harvest festival, is celebrated on the 13th of April every year, marking the Punjabi New Year. People celebrate the joyous occasion by performing Bhangra and Giddha.

POILA BAISHAKH in Bengal - The first day of the Bengali new year falls on the 13th or 14th of April every year. All new enterprises begin on this auspicious day, as businessmen open their fresh ledgers with "Haal Khata"- a ceremomy in which Lord Ganesha is summoned and customers are invited to settle all their old dues and offered free refreshments.

VARSHA PIRAPPU in Tamil Nadu - It is the first day of Chithirai, the first month in the traditional Tamil calendar. every household is thoroughly cleaned and tastefully decorated - the doorways are garlanded with mango leaves strung together and Vilakku Kolam decorative patterns adorn the floors.

BIHU in Assam - The northeastern state of Assam ushers in the new year with the spring festival of Bohaag Bihu or Rongali Bihu, which marks the onset of a new agricultural cycle.

VISHU in Kerala - "Vishu" is the first day in the first month of Medam in Kerala, the beautiful coastal state in southern India. The people of this state - the Malayalees - begin the day early in the morning by visiting the temple and seeing any auspicious sight.

No matter whichever day, this occasion falls, the spirit is the same in all communities. A wish for joy and peace and prosperity in every household is what everybody prays for. I take this opportunity to wish all our Hindu Ilites best wishes for the New Year.
