'Navin Varshachya Hardik Subhechha!' 'Happy Gudi Padwa'.
Gudi Padwa is a Indian festivals falls in month of March. It is celebrated on the first day of the Chaitra month to mark the beginning of the New year according to the lunisolar Hindu calendar. The word 'Padawa' which means the first day of the bright phase of the moon(New Moon) called pratipada in Sanskrit.
On the festive day, courtyards in village even in the city, people take the time out to do some spring cleaning. Women and children work to create beautiful rangoli designs on their doorsteps, the vibrant colours mirroring the burst of colour associated with spring.
A gudi is found hanging out of a window or otherwise prominently displayed in traditional Maharashtrian households. Gudhi is believed to ward off evil, invite prosperity and good luck into the house.
Puran Poli is a great complementary addition to the most of the festivities, also on this occasion. Maharashtrian families also make Shrikhand Poori on this day. Everyone dresses up in new clothes and it is a time for family gatherings. I love puran poli, its a leisure time food. I made Puran Poli today click here for recipe.

Delicious suji ka sheera is cooked not more than 10 minutes and with only 5 Ingredients. This sheera/halwa is itself so rich and has authentic blissful taste, I dont think to add any dry fruits or saffron to it.
