Yugadi is the New Year's festival for people of the Deccan Region of India (Karnataka, Maharashtra, AP, Tamil Nadu & Kerala).

It's name comes from the Sanskrit words yuga ("age") + adi ("new"') ie "the beginning of a new age". It's that day of the year when people take a break and say no to work. They get together in welcoming spring. The day begins with everyone wearing new clothes and offering prayers at temples. Bevu Bella (a mix of neem leaves and flowers and jaggery) is prepared and everyone partakes of it - driving home the message that both joy (jaggery) and sorrow (bitter neem) should be taken in the right spirit.

Its a day of institutionalized loafing and TP

Peace.

Etymology: Atma is a person. He is a cult figure in Hostel AH-7 a.k.a Aryabhatta at BITS Goa. His Tamil brethren prefer to shout out his name from wherever they are, allowing the walls to transmit the call for him - "Atma" (shouted out)

About:
In its current form, it is used as a call for fraternal bonding in the hostel, and one call in any corner is echoed by not less than 2 other persons. The ritualistic shouting may last for a full 5 minutes, unless otherwise truncated by the person concerned (Atma himself). Care must be taken that quorum of 60% is present before the ritual begins. If this precaution is not followed, another of AH7 cult announcements - Ayyopittam (a harsh high pitched squeal) is shouted in repeated succession to drown the former.

Used interchangeably with "highly".

Derived from, presumably, the sanskrit word for elephant (gaja). Made gaja popular, however, by students in Indian educational institutions of highest order.
