Ugadi is celebrated as the first day of the year by people of southern Indian regions such as Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. On this day new Samvatsara, which is cycle of sixty years, starts. All sixty Samvatsara are identified by unique name.
In Karnataka, Ugadi is celebrated by the name Yugadi. Ugadi is celebrated as Gudi Padwa by the people of Maharashtra. Both Ugadi and Gudi Padwa are celebrated on the same day.
Ugadi is New Year according to Luni-Solar calendar. Luni-Solar calendars consider the position of the Moon and the position of the Sun to divide the year into months and days. The counter-part of Luni-Solar calendar is Solar calendar which considers only position of the Sun to divide the year into months and days. Because of that Hindu New Year is celebrated twice in the year with different names and at two different times of the year. The Hindu New Year based on Solar calendar is known as Puthandu in Tamil Nadu, Bihu in Assam, Vaisakhi in Punjab, Pana Sankranti in Orissa and Naba Barsha in West Bengal.
The day begins with ritual oil-bath followed by prayers. Oil bath and eating Neem leaves are must rituals suggested by scriptures. North Indians don't celebrate Ugadi but start nine days Chaitra Navratri Puja on the same day and also eat Neem with Mishri on the very first day of Navratri.
In a village named Medapuram, located in the Sri Sathya Sai district of Andhra Pradesh, the Ugadi festival is celebrated in a memorable manner by the Madiga community . On the night before Ugadi, a grand procession is taken out from a cave to the temple, carrying the idol of the deity. At the temple, eight guardian families belonging to the Scheduled Caste community remain present as representatives.
On the day of Ugadi, traditionally decorated vehicles such as chariots and bullock carts, adorned with colorful items, move through the village. These chariots circumambulate the temple as a symbol of the festival. During this time, devotees distribute Prasadam. After the procession of vehicles is completed, Panju Seva is performed at midday. Under Panju Seva, devotees clean and purify the path along which the procession had passed the previous night. Thereafter, the festival concludes with the performance of Aarti in the temple.
According to the Hindu Panchang, the Shukla Paksha Pratipada of the Chaitra month is celebrated as the first day of the Hindu New Year. In Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, this day is observed as Ugadi, while in Maharashtra, the festival is popularly known as Gudi Padwa.
