Hyderabad: Ugadi, the Telugu New Year Day, was celebrated with traditional fervour and joy across Telangana on Tuesday.

People thronged temples to offer special prayers on Ugadi day, while several temples organized recitations of “panchangam” (almanac) to mark the festival.

Tastefully decorating Hindu households with flowers, mango, and neem leaves, alongside the preparation of special Ugadi delicacies including the sweet-bitter Ugadi Pachadi which symbolizes the happy-sad phases of life, was the highlight of the festival.

Former Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu attended Ugadi celebrations organized at Swarna Bharathi Trust on the city outskirts. Telangana Governor CP Radhakrishnan and Union Minister and Telangana BJP President G Kishan Reddy among others also attended the programme.

Political parties including the Congress and the BJP hosted Ugadi celebrations at their respective party offices in the city.
