Gudi Padwa is the time of great rejoicing and festivity as the entire family comes together for the celebration. As a tradition, all of us do the puja together in the morning and post that all the ladies prepare the traditional delicacies like kheer, pooran poli and halw. This year, I am planning to make these dishes for my ‘Gathbandhan’ family as well. As it is considered auspicious to buy jewelry on this day, I am thinking of purchasing something, if not very exquisite but atleast something small to keep the tradition alive. I would like to wish everyone Happy Gudi Padwa and prosperous new year.

Gudi Padwa has always been very close to my heart because it involves the coming together of our entire family. It marks the beginning of the new year in the Marathi calendar and is considered as a very auspicious day . I am looking forward to dressing up in my traditional attire and devour in some authentic Marathi sweets.

It’s the beginning of a new year in our Marathi calendar. The gudi that we put outside the door is a symbol of success, a sign of our raising standards of life and prospering in life. On this day I dress up in the traditional Maharashtrian attire, do the pooja and prepare delicious food and sweets for my family. According to me, it is one of the brightest day that brings in a lot positivity. I would like to wish everybody a very happy Gudi Padwa and hope this New Year brings in a lot of happiness and laughter..

I wish all my viewers a very happy and prosperous new year.
