We celebrate Ugadi or Hindu new year today while most of the other Hindus celebrated it last month. Today is also the new year  for Malayalees called Vishu , one of their major festivals.

Good Friday is also being celebrated today by Christians .

I Love Ugadi because it is not at all religious but more to do with ushering in a new year while thanking and  celebrating nature's generosity. So all seasonal vegetables and fruits are used for cooking esp mangoes both ripe and raw !

There are some Common features between Ugadi and Vishu, On Ugadi day we in Andhra make a dish consisting of Tamarind paste ,Neem flowers, jaggery, salt and Mango.

All the family members wear new clothes

 In Vishu, the New Year for Malayalees, children wear new clothes. and fire crackers.

Ugadi is called Vishu by the Malayalees so there are bound to be similarities and please add on , only if you have something worthwhile..

 mr. Panikkar settled in AP since many years.He visits us regularly to our  Makar Sankranti and other festivals

In such a station, i came to know about Vishu. What is there to wonder ?

Nice way of collecting points by constant bickering at each other. Happy Ugadi and Vishu.
