Yugadi or Ugadi or "Samvatsradi" is the New Year's Day for the people of the Deccan region of India. It falls on the 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.

The name Ugadi resulting from “Yuga and Aadi” which indicates “Beginning of New age”.

Ugadi marks the new start of the Hindu’s Lunar calendar, hence celebrated as New Year. Exchanging greetings and wishes during this auspicious holiday is considered as part of the tradition.

While the people of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh use the term Yugadi/Ugadi for this festival, the people of Maharashtra term the same festival, observed on the same day, Gudi Padwa.

Holika deceitfully persuaded young Prahlad to sit in her lap in the fire where she herself was burnt in the blistering heat as she was not aware that the boon worked only when she entered the fire alone. Legend has it that Holika had to pay the price of her evil desire with her life and Prahlad, who kept chanting the name of Lord Naarayana in the fire, came out unharmed. Therefore Holi is celebrated as a festival of victory of good over evil and as the triumph of a devotee.

Holi got its name as the "Festival of Colors" from Lord Krishna, who liked to play pranks on the village girls by drenching them in water and colors.
