"On this happy and auspicious occasion of "Ugadi", the Telugu New Year Day, I extend my heartiest felicitations and greetings to the people of Andhra Pradesh and to the Telugu people living all over the world," said Harichandan.
He said Ugadi is a festival of joy and happiness as the New Year brings new hope of a bright future for the people.

Rao said Ugadi is known as the beginning of agriculture year and primarily a festival of farmers and welcomed the end of fall and the beginning of spring season.
"It is also part of the age-old tradition that on Ugadi festival day people consume the special preparation, the Ugadi Pacchadi. It is made of fresh neem flowers, tamarind, raw mango, sugarcane and other ingredients which symbolizes various tastes from sweet, sour to bitter and this itself signifies various divergent experiences one encounters in daily life," said the Telangana CM.
