Guḍhī Pāḍvā is Caitra Śukla Pratipadā — Maharashtra’s new year, when a gudhi (silk, neem, kalash) is raised at the door and the year’s pañcāṅga is read. Ugādi and Yugādi fall on the same tithi for Telugu and Kannada houses; this page is only the Marathi name. On the Panchang the civil date follows caitra Śukla Pratipadā at Madhyāhna. Because tithi and nakṣatra boundaries are reckoned from local sunrise, the same observance can fall a day earlier or later in another city. The gudhi is a bamboo with silk, a silver or copper kalash, and a garland of neem and mango. It stands till afternoon; some read the year’s pañcāṅga at that hour. This engine uses Madhyāhna of Pratipadā, as Marathi pañcāṅgas commonly do. The tithi is the same as Ugādi and Yugādi. Do not merge the three pages: Telugu houses say Ugādi, Kannada Yugādi, Marathi Guḍhī Pāḍvā. Dates below for 2026 are computed from sunrise at your selected place. The same vrata can fall on an adjacent civil day in another city.
