January 1 might have been the calendar New Year, but most people in the South celebrate it in March or April. In Karnataka, the festival sees elaborate rangoli decorations outside homes, welcoming you into mango and neem-leaf-lined doorways to bring in the new year during spring. The food, most importantly, is cooked to prepare you for life. Made using ingredients that contribute sweet, salty, sour, and bitter flavours, it signifies that life ahead also will consist of the same. If you’d like to try, here are the places that are ringing in the New Year with some special dishes for Ugadi.
