How do people celebrate Ugadi?
Actually, the festivities start a week before Ugadi Day. people get to work decorating and cleaning their houses. rangoli designs of various colors adorn most house doors, since the belief is that the coming year will be equally vibrant and colorful as the different shades of Rangoli. Individuals typically take an oil bath, change into new clothes, and get up before dawn. Mango leaves are hung at the doors of stores, residences, and temples. Because Ugadi is considered an auspicious day to start something new, new enterprises frequently open on this day, and stores and malls are launched.
To commemorate the day, special treats are made, such as Pachhadi, a chutney-like dish made by combining six distinct flavors. neem blossoms, tamarind, mango, jaggery, chili powder, and salt are combined to make it.
Every component that is used represents the different aspects of life. A traditional food that is cooked in most homes is pakhdi. In addition to pacchadi, other foods are also made, particularly in the state of Karnataka: holige and puliogure. Listening to Panchanga, or the prognosis of the upcoming year as given by priests, astrologers, or elderly family members, is another significant part of the celebration.
Apart from this, state-to-state organizations organize cultural events.
It's also typical for family members and relatives to exchange presents with one another. Ugadi represents moving on from the past and welcoming a fresh chapter in life with optimism. people look forward to Ugadi, a joyful event, as a sign of prosperity, happiness, and harmony.
