Gudi Padwa is the Maharashtrian New Year, which marks the beginning of a fresh cycle of prosperity, hope, and new opportunities.

Gudi Padwa is celebrated on the first day of Chaitra - the first month of the Hindu lunar calendar.

It is believed to be the day when Lord Brahma created the universe and time itself.

The festival signifies new beginnings, good fortune, and success, making it an important occasion for Maharashtrians.
