Yugādi,(Ugādi 'Samvatsarādi Kannada: ಯುಗಾದಿ Yugadi, Telugu: Ugadi/Yugadi (ఉగాది/యుగాది), Konkani/Marathi: युगादि yugādi and Gudi padwa in marathi) is the New Year's Day for the people of the Deccan region of India. The name Yugadi or Ugadi is derived from the Sanskrit words yuga (age) and ādi (beginning): "the beginning of a new age". It falls on a different day every year because the Hindu calendar is a lunisolar calendar. The Saka calendar begins with the month of Chaitra (March–April) and Ugadi marks the first day of the new year. Chaitra is the first month in Panchanga which is the Indian calendar. In some parts of India it is known as Vikram Samvat or Bhartiya Nav Varsh.

Sindhis, people from Sindh, celebrate the same day as their New Year day Cheti Chand.[1] Manipuris also celebrate their New Year (Sajibu nongma panba) on the same day.

In Kerala, people celebrate the new year as Vishu which falls on April 14 or 15. It is also celebrated in Mauritius.[2] Hindus of Bali and Indonesia also celebrate their new year on the same day as Nyepi.

It is a season for ripe mangoes spreading its aroma in the air and the fully blossomed neem tree that makes the air healthy.
