What is Gudi Padwa and Ugadi?
Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra and Ugadi in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana mark the Hindu lunar new year. Homes raise the gudi flag or decorate doorways with mango leaves, and the day's dish mixes sweet, bitter and sour tastes.
How the date is decided
It is Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, the first day of the lunar year, kept on the day it begins at sunrise, or on the day it falls in when it is kshaya (begins and ends between two sunrises).
