Ugadi, or Yugadi, is celebrated mainly in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka and is their new year. It is the start of the Hindu lunisolar calendar's Chaitra month, typically in March or April. The festival represents renewal, prosperity, and the onset of spring. People go to temples, hear Panchanga Sravanam (astrological forecasts), and take blessings for a bountiful year to come. Ugadi symbolizes new beginnings, hope, and cultural heritage.
