Celebrating a Fresh Start: A Look at Hindu New Year (Ugadi)
At Protovo Solutions, we embrace diversity and global cultures. As we approach the vibrant celebration of Hindu New Year, we'd like to take a moment to share its significance and traditions.
A New Year Steeped in Tradition
Hindu New Year, also known as Ugadi in some regions, falls on the first day of the Chaitra month in the lunisolar Hindu calendar. This year, it coincides with Pratipada Tithi of Shukla Paksha, signifying a fresh beginning. The festival marks the start of spring, a season of renewal and agricultural prosperity.
Regional Celebrations, Shared Spirit

rangolis, and a special dish calledbevu bevu bella- a sweet and savory concoction - is prepared, symbolizing the mixed experiences of life in the coming year. - Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra : This festival features the hoisting of a colorful flag called
gudi, which is believed to usher in good luck and prosperity. - Poila Boishakh in West Bengal : People wear new clothes, partake in feasts, and visit family and friends to mark the occasion.
