Happy Ugadi

Hi All,

Wishing you all happy and prosperous Ugadi.

Ugadi is a new year and first day of the Hindu calender and also first day of chitra masa (spring season). This year is called Vikrutinama samvathsara.

We prepare today Bevu-Bella and as a prasada and distribute to all. Bevu is neem leaves which is bitter and bella is Jaggery which is sweet, represents joy and sorrow of life.

Let us pray that we gain enough strength to accept a low and high, joy and sorrow of life with a equability.

At north-karnataka we prepare Bevu-Bella in 2 methods one is in dry form and another one liquid form. Dry one will have a bevu (neem's tender fresh flowers) and bella, and dry fruits.

Liquid form will have a fresh fruits(mainly grapes and musk melon), bevu, bella, dry fruits, extracted water from tamarind, and grated raw mango and finally fine powder of fried gram. It will be a great and tasty drink.

May god bless all with peace and success this ugadi and all through out the year.

Thanks for visiting!
