What is Ugadi Puja & Panchanga Shravana?
Ugadi (Yugadi) is the new year of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada. Families do a new-year pooja and hear the panchanga shravana — the reading of the new year’s almanac and what it holds for each rashi.
Ugadi marks the day Brahma is said to have begun creation. The day starts with an oil bath and new clothes, mango-leaf torana on the door, and the bevu-bella (neem and jaggery) that teaches us to accept the bitter with the sweet in the year ahead.
