When the first ray of the sun touches the earth and the fragrance of rangoli spreads in every house, then understand that Gudi Padwa has arrived. It is not just a festival, but a symbol of new beginning of the new year, happiness, prosperity and victory. This festival, celebrated with great pomp in many other states including Maharashtra, brings the first morning of the Hindu New Year.
Every year, the festival of 'Gudi Padwa' is celebrated with great pomp on the Pratipada date of Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month. It is considered a symbol of the beginning of the Hindu New Year in Maharashtra and Goa. In 2025, the festival of Gudi Padwa celebrated on March 30 (Gudi Padwa 2025 Date). This day is considered very important not only as a festival, but also from a cultural, historical and religious point of view.
In the glitter of festivals, we often forget their real significance. Gudi Padwa is not just a tradition, but there are deep cultural and spiritual beliefs behind it. Let us know the meaning of the two words 'Gudi' and 'Padwa' hidden in this name.
Gudi is a flag or symbol, which is considered a sign of victory and prosperity. It is placed at a height in the door, window or balcony of the house. It is also considered a symbol of Lord Brahma, who created the universe. At the same time, 'Padwa' means the first day of the lunar month, which marks the beginning of the new year of the Hindu calendar.
