Was there at Gudi Festival in Malvan

[Sagar Kinara]

Malvan a beautiful beach place in Kokan Maharashtra was different
during the gudi festival. This festival was celebrated very
traditionally in the Malvani Villages. It was my first time and was
amazing!!! Gudi Padwa is celebrated as New Year for Marathi peoples.
However it is also celebrated in different states with different
names. There are two reasons behind the celebration of Gudi festival.

1. Sri Rama returned to hometown after 14 years of Banwas
2. Lord Brahma created the Universe.

Both the myths are believed very strongly by Marathi community and
hence the festival is celebrated in full swing.
I wsa very lucky to be present at this wonderful festival in Malvan,
if you were too please feel free to share your experience here...

And if you have missed the festival, you must be present at the
festival going to organised next year but before that will recommend
