How the day is kept
Ugadi begins before dawn with an oil bath and mango-leaf torans on the door. The day's first food is Ugadi pachadi: neem flowers, raw mango, tamarind, jaggery, salt and chilli — six tastes for the six kinds of experience the year will bring.
In the evening the panchanga shravanam is read in temples and homes: the new samvatsara's name, its ruling planets and the year's forecast for each rashi.
Ugadi is kept on the day Chaitra Shuddha Padyami holds at sunrise; when the Padyami touches no sunrise (kshaya), on the day it begins.
