2016 must be the closest Ugadhi (and Gudi Padwa), the New Year’s day for the people of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Konkan, Manipuri and others, occurs so close to the Tamil New Year (along with the New Year for the other peoples of India).
So, today, 08 Apr 2016 we celebrate Ugadhi, while the Tamil New Year falls on next Thursday, 14 Apr 2016. As usual, there is no Google Doodle for Ugadhi. Has never been one. But Google this year, pushed out a Doodle for the Nuvroz, the Parsi New Year, on 24 Mar 2016, though it appeared only in the Kazakhstan home page.
But still a doodle for a new year is good enough for any other celebrating another. And as the explanation for the doodle wishes, ‘hope today's freshly-painted Doodle by Alyssa Winans helps start your Nowruz with the beauty of the season to come’.
Here is the Doodle.
