New year is the beginning of an entire new episode. All the negative influences of the past year slowly wane to give way to fresh new tidings on the new year. What is done on the first day of the year, will bear its influence on the entire patch of the year.
There are certain traditions that are taboo for people on this day. Certain day to day activities like washing hair, and clothes and sweeping the floor to remove the settled dust are not allowed.
