Happy Ugadi !
Ugadi, a festival of life which marks the completion of a lifecycle in the form of seasons and renewal or rebirth marked by the spring season. It reflects the joy of the sons of the soil: "The cultivators" better known as the "Farmers". The use of Mango and Neem leaves is to purify the homestead of germs and virus active during this time causing pox, cholera and many such diseases.
Ugadi marks the beginning of the New Year in the state of Karnataka in India. It transends all boundaries of religion, caste and creed and ties everyone by the common thread of love and harmony like a bouquet of flowers of myriad hues.
I wish my friends to shed more light on this festival, its origin and evolution to how it is celebrated today.
