Ugadi Special

Ugadi Special!
'Ugadi' or 'Yugadi' which means New Year.
Ugadi is celebrated in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telungana. Specifically in South Indian, but even in North India they call New Year as 'Gudi Padwa'.
Clean their house, decorate their entrance with mango leaves or mavaelai, prepare pachadi using tamarind, jaggery, Neem flower, chillis, salt...
Wear new clothes, they go to temple, do charity and have fantastic feast..
Draw colourful Rangolis, in front of their house.
Today I am sharing a very simple kolam with stipes using white rice flour and decorate my kolam with kaavi.
Hope you all like it!
