Straight after Diwali in some parts of the Hindu world it is the beginning of the New Year at least in Gujarat and among some Mauritians. For those using the Vikram Samvat calendar, the New Year began in April this year (The current year is 2070 VS). Some ethnic groups in India, such as the Bengalis and Tamils have use of their own regional calendars.
Regardless of what calendar you prefer to use (and many Hindus also make use of the European Gregorian calendar in secular life), the New Year is a time of new beginnings and ventures, with an abundance of cheer and joy.
The Hindu new year is celebrated differently in different parts of the world. In northern India, people wear flowers to celebrate the New Year, commonly in pink, red, purple, or white hues. Hindus in central India display orange flags, flying them from the top of buildings. In southern India, mothers put food, flowers, and small gifts on a special tray. On New Year’s morning, children must keep their eyes shut until they have been led to the tray.
Just like as with Diwali yesterday, the Half-Eaten Mind cordially invites you to another Photo Moment medley of greetings images associated with the Hindu New Year. As before, I’ll try to involve as many traditions, graphical styles and interpretations of this festival as my poor fingers will allow. Thanks for taking a look and I wish you a wonderful New Year.

EDITOR’S NOTE:
Do to complications with uploading lost images via the new WordPress reader, I have made the images bigger and changed their alignment to centre instead of crowding them in a bunch.
