Dear All HR Community Members,

"My best wishes on the eve of Gudi Padwa to all of you."

The first holy festival which marks the beginning of the new year, new month, and new day for the Hindus falls on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada. It is known as Gudi Padwa (Maharashtra), Ugadi (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh). In other parts of the country, it is celebrated during Navroz (Kashmir), Baisakhi (Punjab), Cheti Chand (Sindhi), Naba Barsha (Bengal), Goru Bihu (Assam), Puthandu (Tamil Nadu), Vishu (Kerala). On this very day, Lord Brahma created the Universe. Therefore, for Hindus, this day carries special importance. The day is celebrated with an auspicious bath, followed by decorating the doorway with a 'toran', performing ritualistic worship, and hoisting the Dhwaja or Gudi.
