There is no established myth or deity tied specifically to the English New Year 2026; the modern observance stems from the British adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1752, making January 1 the civil start of the year. In English tradition, New Year has folk associations with fresh starts and midwinter customs rather than a specific mythic story, though it is celebrated with toasts and communal goodwill.
Arrange a small altar with a lamp, offer fruits, sweets, flowers, and incense, and chant simple prayers while performing the puja; some devotees fast lightly until noon.
Across regions, celebrations vary: some mark midnight with fireworks and parties, others host daytime gatherings or family meals; local customs and calendars shape how the day is observed.
