In Maharashtra, Hindus observe Gudi Padwa, an important festival celebrated on the first day of the Hindu lunisolar calendar, which occurs in the month of Chaitra, corresponding to late March or early April in the Gregorian calendar. This year, the festival is being celebrated on Thursday, March 18, 2026, and it coincides with other major Hindu festivals like Ugadi and Chaitra Navratri.
Gudi Padwa, observed on the initial day of Chaitra (March/April), signifies the New Year for Marathi and Konkani communities, representing prosperity, the arrival of spring, and fresh starts. It honors the creation of the world by Lord Brahma, Lord Rama's triumph over Ravana, and is linked to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
