Kathmandu, March 30, 2025 – As the vibrant festival of Ugadi dawns, communities across India and beyond mark the beginning of a new year filled with hope, prosperity, and spiritual renewal. Ugadi, which means "the beginning of a new era," is celebrated predominantly in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Maharashtra (as Gudi Padwa).
Rooted in rich cultural traditions, Ugadi symbolizes new opportunities and is observed with prayers, feasting, and the preparation of "Ugadi Pachadi"—a unique dish that embodies six distinct flavors, signifying the different emotions of life. The festival is also a time for environmental consciousness, as people clean their homes, decorate with mango leaves, and plant saplings to welcome positivity.
This year, Ugadi resonates beyond cultural boundaries, inspiring a collective reflection on sustainable living. Many organizations and eco-conscious individuals are integrating green initiatives into their celebrations, promoting waste reduction, tree planting, and sustainable festivities.
Marking the festive occasion, Surya Roshni Limited extended its heartfelt wishes to everyone celebrating Ugadi. Mr. Vasumitra Pandey, President and Chief Operating Officer of Surya Roshni Limited, shared a message of hope and prosperity, stating:
"Ugadi is a time to embrace new beginnings, light up lives with positivity, and work towards a sustainable and progressive future. At Surya Roshni, we are committed to illuminating lives not just with our products but also with the values of growth and environmental responsibility. May this Ugadi bring success, happiness, and well-being to all."
With the theme "Discover a New Light, Embrace a Bright Beginning," Ugadi 2025 stands as a reminder that every new year brings a fresh chance to make a difference. Whether through environmental stewardship or fostering unity within communities, the essence of Ugadi extends far beyond its traditional roots, encouraging a future of sustainability and harmony.
Ecosphere News wishes everyone a Happy Ugadi! May this festival illuminate paths of success and well-being while inspiring a greener and more responsible world.
