Why is Gudi Padwa Celebrated

 Gudi Padwa, also known as Ugadi or Cheti Chand, marks the beginning of the lunisolar Hindu calendar. It is a spring festival celebrated predominately in Maharashtra, Goa & Daman by Marathi & Konkani Hindus. The festival symbolizes the victory of good over evil and is associated with the legendary victory of Lord Rama over Ravana and the coronation of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The highlight of the celebration is the hoisting of the ‘Gudi’–a decorated bamboo stick adorned with a bright silk cloth, neem leaves and a garland, topped with an inverted silver or copper pot. This Gudi is believed to ward off negativity and bring prosperity to the household. Families come together to perform poojas, relish festive delicacies like Puran Poli and dress in traditional attire to welcome the new year with joy and optimism. Women often choose bright and festive colors like Mustard, Coral and Violet, accessorizing with statement jewellery, floral hair charms and classic Maharashtrian elements like Nauvari Sarees, the Nath (Nose Ring) and Green Glass Bangles to complete their look.
