Ugadi Telugu: ఉగాది,(Kannada: ಯುಗಾದಿ from yuga+aadi, yuga is era, aadi means start, the start of an era) is the new year's day for the people of the Deccan region of India. While the people of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka use the term Ugadi for this festival, the people of Maharashtra term the same festival, observed on the same day, Gudi Padwa. Sindhis, people from Sindh, celebrate the same day as their New Year day Cheti Chand.Its the onset of the spring,of new life & new begining.Hindus celebrate ugadi with great joy by wishing each other & preforming pooja & customory rituals.
Ugadi is celebrated on a different day every year because the Hindu calendar is a lunisolar calendar. The Saka calendar begins with the month of Chaitra (March/April) and Ugadi marks the first day of the new year.
