Ugadi (Telugu/Kannada New Year) Wallpapers

Ugadi marks the New Year for Telugu and Kannada communities, falling in March or April based on the lunar calendar. The name comes from Sanskrit "yuga" (age) and "adi" (beginning). Families prepare Ugadi Pachadi, a dish with six tastes representing the mixed emotions of life. Doorways are decorated with mango leaf torans, and people wear new clothes. The Panchanga Sravanam (reading of the new almanac) is a key ritual where priests predict the year ahead. Celebrated across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka.
