Gudi Padwa is one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar. This festival is celebrated as the New year’s day in Maharashtra and in Southern India, by the name of Ugadi. There are references to Gudi Padwa in the Puranas as being the day on which Brahma, the Creator, created the Universe. Hence, the significance of this day as far as auspiciousness is concerned, is as significant as that of any of the major Hindu festivals celebrated in India.
