Happy New Year....in March!

The picture on the left is a map of India with the outline of the state of Maharashtra - where we live. The Maharashtrians are celebrating their New Year today: 'Gudi Padwa'. This is a celebration of springtime and harvest. At this time of year the weather is hot, mangoes are in season, it's time to clean the house and get new clothes!


As part of the celebrations, people decorate with rangoli (see colorful picture above) and hang 'gudis' out of the windows (see picture below). A 'gudi' is a pole on top of which an upturned brass or silver pot called a kalash is placed. The gudi is covered with a colourful silk cloth and decorated with coconuts, marigolds and mango leaves that symbolize nature’s bounty.



I like the idea of New Year in March...it's a 2nd chance for my New Year's resolutions!... ;)
