Celebrating Ugadi (the New Year in southern India), Ugadi derives from Sanskrit and means “the beginning of a new era.” Celebratory events included a pooja, an offering to the Gods, and the lighting of the traditional oil lamp by the Consul General of India, Mr. Inbasekar Sundaramurthi, and the Senator for Barcelona, Mr. Robert Masih Nahar, among other dignitaries. The central event, organized by the Telegu Association in collaboration with the Indian Culture Centre at the Sagrat Cor Besòs school theater, featured a performance by Telegu stand-up comedian RJ Hemanth, who has arrived from India and is currently touring several European countries.
