Celebrate Ugadi 2024 In Bangalore: Top Restaurants Serving Delectable Festive Feast

In Karnataka, the new year typically falls between March and April as per the lunisolar calendar. According to Hindu mythology, this period marks the creation of the universe by deity Brahma, hence the festival's name 'Ugadi', derived from Sanskrit words meaning 'age' and 'beginning'.

Ugadi celebrates local harvest and signifies the onset of prosperity and fresh starts. One of its key customs involves tasting a chutney comprising ingredients representing the six primary flavours of food: bitter neem, salty salt, sour tamarind, spicy green chilies, astringent raw mangoes, and sweet jaggery. This ritual symbolises embracing life's diverse aspects with acceptance and grace.

During Ugadi, households prepare a variety of dishes ranging from traditional mains to desserts. In Bangalore, numerous restaurants offer special Ugadi meals in 2024, each promising an authentic experience. Here are a few restaurants on our radar that you might want to explore.
