Neujahr in Indien

This is a shitty map. Everybody follows the Georgian Calendar.

the cultural similarities between telugu, marathi, and kannada people don’t get talked about much probably because marathi isn’t part of the dravidian language family. they share a lot—same calendar, festivals like ugadi, gudi padwa. the region is a perfect blending of dravidian and indo aryan influences.

January 1 is universally celebrated in India though, atleast in the capital cities, it’s complimentary to the native new year celebrations, say, in my community we celebrate poila boishak in April, while also celebrating Jan 1.
