When is Ugadi celebrated?

Ugadi is celebrated on the first day of the month of Chaitra (March–April) following the South Indian amavasyant Hindu calendar. The holiday’s date thus comes the day after the new moon day that ends the month of Phalguna and falls on the first waxing moon day that marks the beginning of Chaitra.
