April Festivals 2022: Navratri, Baisakhi, Gudi Padwa, Ramadan, Ugadi, here's complete list of Indian festivals
With its many cultures, languages, traditions, and festivals, India is known for its Unity in Diversity. Every Indian celebrates a number of festivals with zeal throughout the year. Because April falls on the Hindu calendar’s first month, Chaitra, you’ll see a lot of regional new year festivals in this list.
With the country relishing in the afterglow of winters, flowers blossoming, and a beautiful cultural vibe check, April brings in the harvest season. The first week of the month is all about new beginnings, with many communities celebrating New Year’s Day on April 2. The Muslim holy month of Ramadan, as well as the auspicious nine-day festival of Chaitra Navratri, will begin on April 2.
On the same day, Maharashtrians and Konkanis will celebrate Gudi Padwa, which is the first day of the New Year. Additionally, for the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka, the first Saturday of the month will also be the first day of the New Year, known as Ugadi. The Sindhi community on the same date will celebrate the birth anniversary of their patron saint Jhulelal which is also the first day of New Year for them known as Cheti Chand.
