A New Begining..
A new begining tomorrow and I have posted my favourite Amarylis again :)
Tomororrow is the auspicious day of Gudi Padva. Gudi Padwa is celebrated on the first day of the Chaitra month, and is celebrated as New Years day by Maharashtrians. This festival is supposed to mark the beginning of Vasant or spring. According to the Gregorian calendar this would fall sometime at the end of March and the beginning of April. According to the Brahma Purana, this is the day on which Brahma created the world after the deluge and time began to tick from this day forth. This is one of the 3 and a half days in the Hindu Lunar calendar, whose every moment is considered auspicious.
While the people of Maharashtra use the term Gudi Padwa for this festival, the people of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka term the same festival, observed on the same day, Ugadi.
