| Women dressed in traditional Maharashtrian attire take part in a bike rally at Girgaon,Mumbai,Maharashtra |
Gudi Padwa is celebrated by people across the state of Maharashtra, India, as the Marathi New Year. A colourful Gudi is hoisted atop doors and outside windows on this occasion. A Gudi is a bamboo stick covered with red, yellow or saffron cloth with a pot made of silver,copper or bronze decorated with garlands, mango and neem leaves and red flowers. On this day, people begin their day with a holy bath and wear new clothes. The women of the house wake up early to draw a rangoli in the front yard.
I was fortunate to witness a grand procession in connection with Gudi Padwa near Girgaon, Mumbai. Here then, is the Gudi Padwa Festival Celebrations through my lens.
