The heat of summer may be scorching, but it did not stop the citizens from celebrating the beginning of a New Year according to their community calendar. The festival that goes by many names like Gudi Padwa for Maharashtrians, Cheti Chand for the Sindhis and Ugadi for Telgu and Kannada speaking communities was celebrated with much fervour among citizens. Indoreans celebrated at Rajwada chowk early in the morning.
