India is known for its diversity and culture. The Indian festivals are something people wait for all year long.
India is a land of diversity and states such as Karnataka, Andhra, Maharashtra and few others, which follow the Chandramana calendar, celebrate – Ugadi and Gudi Padwa, as their New Year respectively, based on the day after the New Moon.
The other regions which follow the Solar calendar, consider the month of Chaitra as the first month of the year, so the new year is celebrated on the first day of this month.
