The festival

Ugadi, the Telugu new year, falls on Chaitra Shukla Padyami, the first day of the lunar year. Homes are washed and decorated with mango-leaf torana, the year's panchangam is read aloud (Panchanga Shravanam), and families taste Ugadi pachadi: six tastes for the six flavours of the year ahead.

At Kāmya

At the gaushala, a new year begins the way every good year should: with the cows fed first. Ugadi is a favourite day for families to start an annual Seva sankalpa, like a monthly star-day feed or a year's adoption.

Date computed by Tithi at sunrise (Shukla paksha, Amanta reckoning). Regional almanacs can differ by a day; confirm observances with your Purohit.

Free, because the cows are the point

Families have fed cows on this day for centuries. Kāmya cares for around 200 rescued cows at Toopran — a festival is a good day to begin.
