SARVAJIT NAMA NUTANA SAMVATSARA SUBHA-
KANKSHALU !






It is our Telugu New Year which falls on 20th of March, this year. So, wishing everyone a Happy Ugaadi and a prosperous year ahead. Our day starts with Puja, by later having "Ugaadi Pachchadi" which is a mixture of Neem buds/flowers(Bitterness), Jaggery(Sweetness), Raw Mango(Vagaru), Tamarind Juice(Sour), Chilli Powder/pepper(Hot) and Salt(salty taste). These 6 different flavours are called Shadruchulu.
For more information about the festival, click over here.
For the list of years, click here.


Sri Rama Navami just falls after a week of Ugadi. It is on 27th of this month. The birth of Sri Rama is celebrated. It is also observed as the marriage day of Sri Rama and Sita. The special offering of this day is Panakam(a beverage made of jaggery dissolved in water to which pepper powder and cardamom powder are added) and 'Vada Pappu'(soaked lentil). Happy Sri Rama Navami !
