Gudhi Padwa (\u0917\u0941\u0922\u0940\u092a\u093e\u0921\u0935\u093e<\/strong> <\/span>) celebrates Raama’s (\u0930\u093e\u092e<\/strong> <\/span>) return to Ayodhyaa (\u0905\u092f\u094b\u0927\u094d\u092f\u093e <\/strong><\/span>) after killing Raavana (\u0930\u093e\u0935\u0923<\/strong> <\/span>). Raama (\u0930\u093e\u092e<\/strong> <\/span>) is a legendary king of Ayodhyaa (\u0905\u092f\u094b\u0927\u094d\u092f\u093e <\/strong><\/span>) who fights Raavana (\u0930\u093e\u0935\u0923<\/strong> <\/span>) the king of Lankaa (\u0932\u0902\u0915\u093e<\/strong><\/span>). According to the legend Raavana (\u0930\u093e\u0935\u0923<\/strong> <\/span>) holds Raama’s (\u0930\u093e\u092e<\/strong> <\/span>) wife Siitaa (\u0938\u0940\u0924\u093e<\/strong><\/span>) captive and Raama (\u0930\u093e\u092e<\/strong> <\/span>) tries to rescue his wife by battling his enemy Raavana (\u0930\u093e\u0935\u0923<\/strong> <\/span>).<\/p>\n

Gudhi Padwa (\u0917\u0941\u0922\u0940\u092a\u093e\u0921\u0935\u093e<\/strong> <\/span>) is a huge holiday in the Maharashtra region. Maharashtra is an Indian state west of India. Late March or early April on the solar calendar is the beginning of the year on the Indian lunar calendar. Gudhi Padwa (\u0917\u0941\u0922\u0940\u092a\u093e\u0921\u0935\u093e<\/strong> <\/span>) also marks the beginning of the rabi (\u0930\u092c\u0940<\/strong><\/span>) season. Rabi (\u0930\u092c\u0940<\/strong><\/span>) is a time when the crops are harvested and it marks the beginning of the spring season.<\/p>\n

To prepare for Gudhi Padwa (\u0917\u0941\u0922\u0940\u092a\u093e\u0921\u0935\u093e<\/strong> <\/span>) people sweep the floors in addition to a full spring cleaning of the house. In some villages fresh cow dung is plastered on the mud hut cracks and roofs are thatched. You’ll also see gold brocaded yellow, green and other colored scarves called zari (\u095b\u0930\u0940<\/strong> <\/span>). The zari (\u095b\u0930\u0940<\/strong> <\/span>) is tied to a stick with a pot placed over the zari (\u095b\u0930\u0940<\/strong> <\/span>). Small flowers and twigs are sometimes tied to the stick as well.<\/p>\n

The whole getup with the zari (\u095b\u0930\u0940<\/strong> <\/span>) and the pot is called gudhi (\u0917\u0941\u0922\u0940<\/strong><\/span>). The gudhi (\u0917\u0941\u0922\u0940<\/strong><\/span>)<\/strong> is like a home made flag celebrating Raama’s (\u0930\u093e\u092e<\/strong> <\/span>) victory over Raavana (\u0930\u093e\u0935\u0923<\/strong> <\/span>). The gudhi (\u0917\u0941\u0922\u0940<\/strong><\/span>) is placed on the right side of the entrance of the home. It’s thought that the right side will bring good luck and stave off any evil.<\/p>\n
