Longer Ugadi messages
Ugadi pachadi always felt like a strange dish to me as a child, bitter and sweet and sour all at once. Now I understand why we eat it on the first day of the year. I hope your year has every taste in it, with more sweetness than anything else. Happy Ugadi to you and your family.
WhatsAppDear Atte, the house will be full again this Ugadi, and the kitchen will be loud with everyone fighting over the last holige. Please save me a seat near the window, like always. Wishing you a calm, beautiful new year.
WhatsAppTo our team: as the new year begins, thank you for every late evening and every small win. Let's carry the good habits forward and leave the rest behind. Enjoy the festive meal with your families.
WhatsAppHappy Yugadi, my friend. May this year bring you the courage to start something new, the luck to finish it and enough free evenings to tell me all about it. Mango season is close, so let's finally plan that trip we keep talking about.

About Ugadi
Ugadi, also written Yugadi, is New Year's Day for people in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It falls on the first day of the Chaitra month in the lunar calendar, usually in March or April, and the same day is celebrated as Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra.
In many homes the day begins early with a head bath and new clothes. Doorways are decorated with fresh mango leaf torans, and front yards with rangoli, known as muggulu in Telugu homes.
A key part of the festival is a mixture of neem flowers, jaggery, raw mango, tamarind, salt and chilli. Kannada homes call it bevu-bella and Telugu homes call it Ugadi pachadi, and its six tastes stand for the mixed experiences of the year ahead. Families also prepare sweets such as obbattu or bobbatlu, and many attend panchanga shravanam, a reading of the new year's almanac.
Tips for sending your wishes
- Kannada speakers often say Yugadi while Telugu speakers say Ugadi, so matching the word to your friend's home state is a nice touch.
- Mention bevu-bella or pachadi in your wish, because the six-taste mixture is what most people associate with the day.
- Send wishes in the morning, as many families spend the afternoon on the festive meal and the evening at the panchanga reading.
