Mysore/Mysuru: Celebration of Ugadi festival in Mysuru region was restrained as people mostly stayed indoors. Ugadi is celebrated by tying neem leaves to house entrances and eating a mixture of jaggery and neem leaves — symbolising the bitter-sweet experiences of life.
However, in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak and the lockdown, the government urged people to celebrate the festival indoors and maintain social distancing. During Ugadi, people continue celebrations even two days after the main festival.
