Today holds a special significance for the people from southern states; Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka, they celebrate this day as Ugadi, people in Maharashtra and Goa celebrate the festival as ‘Gudi Padwa’.

The day is also known as ‘Chaitra Navratri’ in various regions of the country, known as ‘Navreh’ by Kashmiri Hindus, and as ‘Sajibu Cheiraoba’ by people in Manipur, by Malayalis as Vishu. Today’s date is significant not only because it symbolises the start of a new year, but also because it marks the beginning of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims fast for the entire month, praying for peace and guidance, offering charity or participating in humanitarian activities, and moving towards enlightening their souls.
