Happy Festival!

Gudi Padwa 2027 falls on Wednesday, April 7, 2027 at 20:27 UTC. Live countdown, dates through 2028, and how the date is determined.

Gudi Padwa is a spring festival marking the start of the lunisolar new year for Marathi and Konkani Hindus. It is celebrated in and around Maharashtra, Goa, and Daman at the start of Chaitra, the first month of the lunisolar Hindu calendar. The festival is characterised by colourful floor decorations called rangoli, a special gudi dhvaja, which is a sari or dhoti or other piece of cloth garlanded with flowers, mango, and neem leaves, and a sugar crystal garland called gathi, topped with upturned silver or copper vessels. The celebration also includes street gatherings, dancing, and festive foods. Gudi Padwa, the Marathi new year, falls on the first day of the bright fortnight of Chaitra.

Dates can vary by a day between regions and traditions.

Why does the date move?

Hindu festivals follow the panchang, a lunisolar calendar in which most festivals are tied to a particular lunar day (tithi) of a particular month. Because lunar months drift against the solar year and a leap month is periodically inserted, the Gregorian date of each festival moves within a few weeks from year to year — and regional traditions can observe the same festival a day apart.
