What is kept
The Hindu new year for much of India, and the first day of the new Vikram Samvat. In Maharashtra people put up a gudi outside the home: a pole with a silk cloth, neem leaves and a garland of sugar sweets. In Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana it is Ugadi, and families eat Ugadi pachadi, made with six tastes, sweet, sour, bitter, salty, spicy and tangy, because a year brings all of them. Chaitra Navratri also begins today.
The Vikram Samvat year turns.
