Interesting facts about Gudi Padwa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gudi symbolizes the flag of Lord Brahma and Padwa (Pratipada in Sanskrit) is the first day of the lunar fortnight. It is also known as Samvatsar Padvo and Ugadi in the south, Navreh in Kashmir and, Cheti Chand by the Sindhi community. As per Hindu Mythology, it is believed to be the first day of the Universe\u2019s creation which is why Lord Brahma is worshipped during this festival. It also symbolizes the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana and his successful return to Ayodhya. This is why Gudi is said to be a symbol of victory. The rituals begin with the customary oil bath and consuming neem leaves after worshipping the Gudi unfurled right outside each household. Adults and children alike wait eagerly for the bitter-sweet Prasad which is made using neem, coconut pulp, tamarind and jaggery. Gudi is prepared by tying a piece of fresh cloth around a 5 feet long bamboo stick with Neem leaves and sugar candy garland placed on top of it. The Gudi stick is then placed on a silver or bronze pot which is believed to keep evil spirits at bay and prosperity in life. This tradition was started by the great Maharashtrian warrior, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj after his victory. This day is considered to be auspicious to purchase gold, a new vehicle, home or to start a new business as it is believed to bring good luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
