Hindus, especially GSB Community All Geared Up for ‘UGADI’- the Hindu New Year CelebrationMangaluru: India is a land of various festivals, which are all about sweets, celebrations, crackers, colours, fun with family and friends, and of course, rituals. The same is with Kannadigas, Telugus, Marathi and GSB communities, who welcome the Hindu New Year today, 2 April 2022 with the celebration of Ugadi or Gudi Padwa. A large number of devotees were there to celebrate the Ugadi Mahotsav with immense pomp and gaiety. Ugadi has special significance even in nature as the trees yield a wide variety of flowers and fruits during the season. ‘Panchanga Sravanam – listening to the almanack for the year’ is performed in temples and even at home as part of Ugadi rituals.
