Wishing everyone a Very Happy Ugadi!

Yuga Yugadi kaledaru
Yugadi marali barutide
Hosa varushake hosa harushava
Hosatu Hosatu tarutide

This is a very famous poem by one of my favorite Kannada poets & Jnanapeeth awardee Dr. D.R Bendre.

Yugadi/Ugadi is the beginning of New Year in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharastra, tomorrow's celebration is called Chandramana Ugadi as it is based on the lunar calendar. Indian calender has names for every year and the year beginning tomorrow is called 'Nandana'

Very rough translation:  
A New Year returns once again and brings new joy to a new beginning.

I wish all my readers a Very Happy, Prosperous Nandana Naama Samvatsara(Year)

I will be back with Ugadi specials from Sattvaa kitchen after tomorrow. See you all then.
