Ugadi is the Hindu New Year festival celebrated mainly in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka (known as Yugadi there). It marks the start of the Chaitra month and a new era ("Yuga Adi") on the lunisolar calendar—today, March 19, 2026.
People decorate with mango leaf toranas and rangoli, visit temples, and eat Ugadi Pachadi: a mix of jaggery (sweet), tamarind (sour), neem (bitter), chilli (spicy), and salt—symbolizing life's varied experiences. PM Modi's post captures the spirit of fresh beginnings perfectly!
