[Tushar_Suradkar]

The Indian festival of Gudhi Padwa marks the beginning of the New Year during the harvest season.

On this occasion, a symbolic Gudhi is erected in homes across the state of Maharashtra. 

Yesterday, 09 April 2024, on the occasion of Gudhi Padwa, several local guides from Maharashtra erected the Gudhi in their home as part of the celebrations.

Raising the Gudhi is the main ritual of Gudhi Padva. 

Here are the collages...

It's also a really attractive function, with all the features of this Hindu event. I especially enjoy how you described gudhi and the line most The Gudhi is considered to be Brahma’s flag.
