Gudhi Padwa, the traditional Marathi New Year, heralds the arrival of spring and marks a joyful reset for Maharashtra and beyond, typically falling in March or April according to the Hindu lunar calendar. This festival symbolizes renewal, prosperity and the triumph of good over evil, deeply rooted in mythology and history. It’s believed to commemorate Lord Brahma’s creation of the universe and time of Lord Rama’s victorious return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana and even King Shalivahan’s defeat of the Huns, which began the Shalivahan era. For farmers, it signals the end of the Rabi harvest season, bringing gratitude for bountiful crops and hopes for abundance ahead. Families across Maharashtra celebrate with feasts of optimism and cultural pride.
So this period means Gudi Padwa and no celebration feels complete without the Gudhi.
