It is UGADI (Telugu New year ) , A festival of a new start in South India.

[NarenChandra]

Like there is a general New Year on Dec 31 , we have a New year called UGADI, it is believed that the new year starts from now here in South India.

Here is a art my friend made resembling the flavours of life and the connection to the festival.

Ugadi is a Hindu festival where we make a chutney . and it is made from 6 elements which describe 6 emotions .

Each ingredient denotes the six tastes of life:

• Sadness – Neem Buds/Flowers for its bitterness.
• Happiness – Jaggery and ripe banana pieces for sweetness.
• Anger – Green Chilli/Pepper for its hot taste.
• Fear – Salt for saltiness.
• Disgust – Tamarind Juice for its sourness.
• Surprise – Unripened Mango for its tang.

It is also believed that this chutney is good and kills all the bacteria inside the stomach so we can stay healthy for another UGADI to come .

Wishing you all a Very Happy UGADI.
