Gudipadwa Shobha Yatra @ Girgaon

Gudi Padwa, which marks the beginning of the new year for Maharashtrians, was celebrated with much pomp and fanfare in the city on Monday. Men and women dressed in saffron turbans and navvari (nine-yard ) saris danced to the beats of the lezim , dhol and cymbals, while the streets were decorated with colourful rangolis.

Gudi Padwa, also known as Ugadi, is celebrated on the first day of the Hindu month of Chaitra, which, according to the Gregorian calendar would fall sometime at the end of March and the beginning of April. This festival is supposed to mark the beginning of ‘Vasant’ or spring.

The whole of Maharashtra celebrates the New Year on Gudi Padwa every year. It is celebrated on the first day of the Chaitra month according to the Hindu calendar. This day is also known as Kalash Sthapana . On this day the most important thing is the hoisting of flags on a bamboo staff. A bright green or yellow cloth adorned with brocade (zari) is tied to the tip of a long bamboo over which gathi (a type of sweet), neem leaves, a twig of mango leaves and a garland of red flowers is tied. This is then hoisted by placing a silver or copper pot placed in the inverted position over it. The village ladies clean their house and platter it from the cow dung mixed with mud. Ladies and girls of the village make beautiful designs with special powder of soft, white stone (rangolis) are drawn on the floor in front of it.
