Gudi Padwa festival celebration in Mumbai

Updated On: 02 April, 2022 06:02 PM IST |

Marking the beginning of the traditional new year, Gudi Padwa is celebrated by the people in Maharashtra. The auspicious festival derives its name from two words 'gudi' which is the flag of Lord Brahma and 'padwa' which signifies the first day of the phase of the moon. The occasion signals the onset of the warmer days and the spring season. Gudi Padwa coincides with the first day of the Chaitra Navratra and festivals like Sajibu Cheiraoba, Navreh, Cheti Chand and Ugadi that are celebrated in different parts of the country.
