The rituals began early morning and the temple flag was hoisted under the guidance of temple priest at around 12.00pm.

 

A large number of devotees thronged the Kalikamba temple to celebrate the Ugadi Mahotsav with immense pomp and gaiety.  Special pujas were offered to the presiding deity on the auspicious occasion. This special Puja was followed by free lunch in the form of prasadam to all the devotees who had gathered in huge number at the temple premises.


It’s the practice in every household across the district to place new dresses, jaggery, and neem leaves at the altar of the home deity on Ugadi before partaking of a sumptuous lunch and savour sweet dishes such as payasam.  The womenfolk offer puja and distribute prasadam fondly to every family member.


Ugadi has special significance even in nature as the trees yield a wide variety of flowers and fruits during the season.  It is a time for the people to look forward to a prosperous new year with hope and joy.
