Gudhi
Padva / Cheti Chand / Ugadi is the first day of beginning of the New Year
according to the lunisolar Hindu calendar. On the festive day, people take the
time out to do some spring cleaning. Women and children work on intricate
rangoli designs on their doorsteps, the vibrant colours mirroring the burst of
colour associated with spring. It is a time for family gatherings!!!
