Wednesday, Mar 18, 2026 · Cultural
Gudi Padwa is a festival that marks the New Year in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Families decorate their homes, create colorful rangoli designs, wear traditional clothes, and raise a bright “Gudi” flag outside their homes as a symbol of good luck and new beginnings. Learning about it at school helps Maharashtrian students feel seen and proud of their traditions. For other students, it builds respect and cultural curiosity, and shows how different cultures celebrate fresh starts and hope.
