Importance of Ugadi 

Yugadi is the beginning of the year. Yuga is a period, while adi denotes the commencement of something. The Yugadi commemorates Lord Brahma's work in creating the universe. It is also the event that heralds spring's arrival and the warmer weather after the winter. This happy occasion is commemorated with joy and unity among our loved ones.

People regard Ugadi as an auspicious occasion and mark it to start new endeavours, such as beginning a new business, purchasing a new house, or holding a housewarming celebration. It is thought that any work starting on this day yields positive results.

How Is Ugadi celebrated

The preparations for the Ugadi festival begin a week before the event. People clean their houses and purchase new clothes. The house entrances are decorated with mango leaves. 

After worshipping their gods, people welcome the new year. Devotees in several parts of south India begin their days with an oil bath. Relatives also come together to celebrate this festival.
