“Ugadi Subhakankshalu”
in advance…. Tomorrow is Ugadi and from tomorrow starts the 9 day Sree Rama
Navami Uthsavam at Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam. `
Azadirachta indica, also
known as Neem, is a tree in the mahogany family Meliaceae. It is one of two
species in the genus Azadirachta, and is native to India, and parts of Asia, growing
in tropical and semi-tropical regions. Neem tree is the official tree of the
Sindh Province and is very common in all cities of Sindh. The neem tree is noted for its drought
resistance.
Yugādi, is the New
Year's Day for the people of the Deccan region of India. The name Yugadi or
Ugadi is derived from the Sanskrit words yuga (age) and ādi (beginning):
"the beginning of a new age". In Temples on the occasion of Ugadi ‘panchangam’
will be read. This year, it is triple happiness this Monday (31st
Mar 2014) as Gudi Padwa, Ugadi and Cheti
Chand will be celebrated. Gudi Padwa is
celebrated by Marathi speaking people; Ugadi is celebrated in Karnataka and
Andhra Pradesh; . Cheti Chand is the festival of the Sindhi community. In Maharashtra, Gudi Padwa has the legend
that it on this day Lord Rama returned victorious to Ayodhya.
In Andhra, Ugadi
pachhadi is a delicacy made on the occasion and shared with all. It is a specific mixture of six tastes – with neem
buds; jiggery; green chilli/pepper; salt; tamarind; unripened mango being its
ingredients.
From tomorrow on, it
will be 9 days Sree Ramanavami Uthsavam.
