Neem flower refers to the blossoms of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica), an evergreen tree native to the Indian subcontinent. The neem tree is known for its numerous medicinal properties, and its flowers are also valued for their culinary and traditional uses.
Neem flowers are small, delicate, and fragrant. In the context of Ugadi, which is a traditional New Year festival celebrated in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka in India, neem flowers hold special significance. Ugadi marks the beginning of a new year according to the Hindu lunar calendar and is observed with various rituals and customs.
On Ugadi, it is a common practice to consume a mixture called "Ugadi Pachadi" or "Bevu Bella" (in Karnataka), which is a concoction of six tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, spicy, and astringent. Each taste symbolizes the different experiences that one may encounter in the coming year and serves as a reminder of life's ups and downs.
One of the key ingredients in Ugadi Pachadi is neem flowers. The inclusion of neem flowers represents bitterness, signifying that life is a blend of both sweet and bitter moments.
