Significance of Ugadi/Yugadi/Gudhi Padwa

Ugadi, also known as Yugadi in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh and Gudhi Padwa in Maharashtra, marks the Hindu New Year according to the lunisolar calendar. It is a time of renewal, prosperity, and gratitude, symbolizing the start of a new cycle. The day is celebrated with prayers, Panchanga Sravanam (astrological forecasts), and traditional rituals to seek divine blessings for health, happiness, and success. Families prepare special festive dishes like Ugadi Pachadi, which represents the different flavors of life—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy—reminding us to embrace all experiences with balance and grace.
