Questions

From the Dharmasindhu p. 31, with the page for each.

When is Ugadi 2027?

In Delhi, on Wednesday, 7 April 2027, the new year day. In Sydney, it is Thursday, 8 April. Dharmasindhu p. 31

Is Gudi Padwa the same day as Ugadi?

Yes. Ugadi in the south and Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra are popular names for the new year day the texts describe. The texts call it the beginning of the year, on the Caitra śukla Pratipadā. Dharmasindhu p. 31

What are the new year rites?

A bath and the saṅkalpa for the year. A flag raised. Neem leaves. Hearing the year’s forecast. In an adhika Caitra, the new-year bath and saṅkalpa fall in the adhika month, and the flag, the neem leaves, the forecast and the Navarātri in the true month. Dharmasindhu p. 31

Why is the date different in the US or UK?

Ugadi is decided by the Pratipadā at sunrise at the city. The tithi begins and ends at the same moment everywhere, but sunrise and sunset come at different hours, so a city far to the west or east can keep another day. Dharmasindhu p. 31
