happy new year/yugadi and tomorrow is vishu

april 13th is the beginning of the vedic new year (lunar): 5123 kali yuga. thus yugadi. in the 60 year cycle of vedic years, the new year is 'plava'; the last one was 'sarvari'. 

best wishes to telugus and kannadigas and others celebrating yugadi.

april 14th is the beginning of the solar year. the month of mesha (medam in malayalam: aries the ram). it's also tamil new year. 

this is an unusual year in which the lunar and solar year almost coincide!
