I had a chance to experience more than dozen variations of Ugadhi delicacies today, as one of the judges (along with Sairamprabhu Vedam, Bhargavi Marturi) at Cubicle Decoration event at Cigniti today, on the eve of Ugadhi 2017.

I have also actually learned in-depth meaning of Ugadhi (New Year for multiple states in India), as participants enthusiastically explained what Ugadhi means to them both from traditional perspective, and how to interpret in today’s world too. Photos (and video) clicked by Niranjan Keshavan
