1. North and South and Navrātras

For any South Indian to land in any city in north India during the Navratras, especially in the cities of Western UP, northern MP, and eastern Rajasthan, is to get a shock of a lifetime.

2. To witness colony after colony ‘celebrating’ Navrātras with ear-shattering noise euphemistically called ‘music’...
3. To see women singing and dancing on numbers which horribly sound like a Bollywood song with lyrics changed in favor of the presiding deity, optimistically called ‘bhajan’...

We are entering into the year ‘Shobha Krutha' (శోభ కృత్) this year.

#Ugadi= Yugadi stands for ‘Yuga’ which means An Era and ‘Adi’ which means New Beginning.

Thus it means the beginning of a new era. It is celebrated across the state of AP, Telangana and Karnataka as new year.
This day is celebrated as the beginning of a #NewYear in different parts of the country.

#Thread Idi0t’s Guide to #NoBindiNoBusiness, for the trolls who deliberately misinterpret the hashtag n the thought behind it. Repeat after me, #No_Bindi_No_Business is about CHOICE. It is not a compulsion, it is not a law. It is about the right of the ordinary Hindu to say NO!
When brands advertise for Hindu festivals like #AkshayaTritiya #Ugadi #Deepavali #GaneshChaturthi it is a reasonable expectation that they should respect the consumer’s culture, traditions, symbols. A bindi/Tilak/sindoor is one of the prominent Hindu symbols #NoBindiNoBusiness
If a brand wants Hindu money, the brand HAS to respect Hindu sentiments. The ads have to reflect the Hinduness, the joy, the spiritual significance of the festival. You want Hindus to buy gold from you for #AkshayaTritiya then show respect to Hindu culture. #NoBindiNoBusiness

Our Hindu identity is an umbrella celebrating pluralism and diversity. 2021 will see the Solar and Lunar calendars align to have almost all Hindu communities celebrating their New Year on the same day!

We wish all our students a Happy Hindu New Year 🥳

Almost all New Year celebrations fall in the season of Vasanta (Spring), when nature awakens from the slumber of winter and is abundant with blossom and greenery.

We have an article on our website, explaining each Utsav in greater detail.

#navreh #chetichand #HinduNewYear
There is no single Hindu calendar, rather a set of many regional and denominational variations of lunisolar calendars. All are as Hindu as the other.
Today is the beginning for those communities who mark their months on the Lunar calendar (Chandramana).

Engineering a City #thread
Having spent my entire childhood in #Kochi (#Cochin ), it feels criminal to not know the story of how the city came to be the #metropolis it is today. Putting together a thread to trace the journey of the city which has been so endearingly mine (1)
Part 1: The #Malabar Mud-Banks
The story of Cochin is not just about how an engineering marvel can change social fabric, but also of many tenets of #British #Colonialism in India which is often taken for granted, passed off lazily as exploitation, missing nuance (2)
As with any coastal town, the cultural and economic history of Kochi is intertwined with maritime trade routes since the time of the Early Romans and Arabs. Thanks to the #biennale , most of us would now be familiar with the term #Muzuris (3)

I extend my warm greetings and good wishes to the people of our country on the auspicious occasion of ‘#Ugadi, #GudiPadava, #ChaitraSukladi, #Sajibu Cheiraoba, #Navreh and Cheti Chand’. Image
These festivals, celebrated with much zeal around the country, herald the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year. It is a joyous festival signifying growth and prosperity.
As we rejoice and hope that these festivals bring better health and greater happiness in our lives, we should recognize that we are currently battling an unprecedented global health challenge. We have to take adequate precautions to stay safe Image

దేశ ప్రజలందరికీ శార్వరి నామ సంవత్సర ఉగాది శుభాకాంక్షలు. ప్రకృతి కొత్త రెక్కలు తొడిగి మళ్లీ తన పరిమళాలు వెదజల్లే వసంతరుతువు ఆగమనాన్ని సూచించే ఉగాది పండగ.. అందరి జీవితాల్లో కొత్త వెలుగులు నింపాలని భగవంతుడిని ప్రార్థిస్తున్నాను. #Ugadi2020 #Ugadi Image
సంప్రదాయ నూతన సంవత్సరం.. ప్రజల్లో కొత్త విశ్వాసాన్ని నింపి.. భారతదేశం, ప్రపంచం ఎదుర్కొంటున్న సవాళ్లకు పరిష్కారాన్ని సూచించే దిశగా ముందుకు నడిపిస్తుందని ఆకాంక్షిస్తున్నాను. #Ugadi
ప్రపంచమంతా కరోనా మహమ్మారి బారిన పడి విలవిల్లాడుతున్న పరిస్థితుల్లో ప్రభుత్వాలు, వైద్య నిపుణులు చేస్తున్న సూచనలు, జాగ్రత్తలను నూటికి నూరుశాతం పాటిద్దాం. మనల్ని మనం కాపాడుకోవడంతోపాటు పక్కవారిని కూడా చైతన్య పరచాల్సిన బాధ్యతను తీసుకుంటామని ఉగాది సందర్భంగా ప్రతినబూనుదాం. Image
