The tradition names no separate muhurat for this festival — it is observed through the day. Abhijit is the day’s generally auspicious window and Rahu Kaal the one to avoid.
Ugadi is the lunar new year of the Deccan — Yugadi in Karnataka and Andhra, Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, Cheti Chand for Sindhis. It falls on the first day of the waxing moon in Chaitra, the opening day of the Hindu lunar calendar.
Homes are cleaned and doorways hung with mango leaves; Maharashtra raises the gudi, a silk-draped pole, above the door. The signature dish is ugadi pachadi, which combines six tastes so the year is met with all of them at once.
