The word Yugadi can be explained as 'Yuga' is the word for 'epoch' or 'era', and 'aadi' stands for 'the beginning'. While it is observed as Baisakhi in Punjab and Puthandu in Tamil Nadu. Manipuris also celebrate their New Year (Sajibu Cheiraoba) on the same day. Sindhis, people from Sindh, celebrate the same day as their New Year day Cheti Chand. The people of Maharashtra term the same festival, observed on the same day, Gudi Padwa. This festival is celebrated mostly at Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Yugadi (Kannada: ?, Telugu: ?) from yuga + aadi, yuga means era, aadi means start it means “The start of an era”) Ugadi is known as New Year day for people of Deccan region. There is no Shiva without Shakti and no Shakti without Shiva, the two are one - or the absolute state of being. Lord Shiva is also said to be inseparable from Shakti - Parvati the daughter of Himavaan - Haimavati. A great ascetic, Shiva is the only godhead who is forever in deep meditation, totally absorbed in contemplation in His abode, Kailaasa Mountain in the great Himalaya. Lord Shiva is also considered to be the most unique of all Hindu gods and also the God of all. His symbol of Lingam or the phallus represents this reproductive power. Scholars say, as the Mahakaal, Shiva destroys and dissolves everything into nothingness but as Shankara, he also reproduces that which has been destroyed and dissolved. As the cycle of destruction and recreation is always in a circle, Shiva’s primary responsibility is maintaining the life cycle. Shiva is the destructive form of the Almighty. He is known as the third element in the Hindu Trinity (Trimurti), the other two members being Lord Brahma - the creator and Lord Vishnu - the protector.
