HOW I CELEBRATED UGADI FESTIVAL - YEAR 2023

 Happy Ugadi to all my readers and viewers of my blog.

 

In general, new year starts on January but to telugu people of two states - Andhra Pradesh and Telangana starts on march that is on Ugadi festival.

 

Ugadi festival is a Hindu traditional festival that is the new year to south Indian people. According to the Hindu calendar, Ugadi is celebrated on the first day of the “Chaitra” i.e Chaitra Shudda Paadyami or Chaitra Masam - month.

 

In other words, the meaning of Ugadi is defined as the beginning of the year.

 

Now I discuss about how I celebrated this Ugadi festival day:

 

Early in the morning I wake up and had an oil message to my body and hair. After that I had a head bath and dressed up in a new dress. Did puja and ate Ugadi Pachadi – see the image and ingredients of Ugadi Pachadi.

Ugadi Pachadi Ingredients:

  1. Water
  2. Tamarind
  3. Mango
  4. Neem Flower
  5. Jaggery


A small Note:

Ugadi Pachadi differs according to people who live in state, city, town, village, tribal areas.

 

Some add salt, honey, red chilli powder, green chilli, sugar and sugar cane. Here the above I shared ingredients of Ugadi Pachadi which is the right way and used in puja.

 

Later I went to a temple. Remember in this festival lord Vishnu and his avatars we worship on this day.

 

Morning, I went to lord Sri Rama temple,

Afternoon I did lord Krishna mantra prayer for 108 times. See the mantra below:

 

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

 

And in the evening, I went to Lord Venkateshwara Swamy temple saying Govinda, Govinda, mantra. Seen God. Stood there for 2 hours, did Vishnu sahasranamam.


Later Ugadi panchangam 2023 started in the temple. This year my sun sign horoscope future is very good.


Note: 

On this day, the New Panchangam will begin. Panchangam means Hindu Vedic Astrology of Sun signs. See the images below:
