Gudi Padwa, a significant day for Maharashtrians and Konkanis! Also celebrated as Ugadi in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, Gudi Padwa marks the beginning of the Hindu lunisolar calendar, heralding the arrival of spring and the harvest season. The day falls on April 9th, symbolizing new beginnings and renewal.
Traditionally, the day begins with purifying rituals, including an early morning oil bath believed to cleanse the mind and soul. Following this sacred bath, neem leaves are consumed for their purifying properties, promoting blood purification and immunity. It is only after these rituals that prayers are offered to the divine.
