Gudi Padwa, the traditional New Year celebrated by Marathi Hindus and Konkani communities, is observed with great enthusiasm and spiritual fervour across Maharashtra and parts of western India. In 2026, the festival falls on March 19, marking the pratipada of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Chaitra.
Deeply rooted in Hindu tradition, Gudi Padwa is believed to commemorate the day Lord Brahma created the universe, setting time, life, and the cosmos into motion. The festival symbolises new beginnings, hope, and prosperity, making it an auspicious occasion to start new ventures, make important decisions, and welcome positivity into one's life. Homes are adorned with vibrant rangolis and the iconic Gudi, a decorated flag hoisted outside households, as families come together to celebrate the dawn of a new year.
As the festival approaches, here are some heartfelt wishes, messages, and greetings you can share with your loved ones to celebrate Gudi Padwa 2026.
