Gudi Padwa is the Marathi New Year, falling on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (today, March 19, 2026). It celebrates spring's arrival, new beginnings, and victory—linked to legends like Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya or King Shalivahana's triumph.
Key tradition: Hoist a "Gudi"—bamboo pole with silk cloth, copper pot, neem/mango leaves, and flowers—tilted right at your doorstep for prosperity and protection. Families do puja, wear new clothes, and feast on puran poli, shrikhand, and a neem-jaggery mix for health (bitter-sweet life reminder).
Happy Gudi Padwa! May it bring renewal and success. 🚩
