Gudi Padwa, which is the beginning of the Marathi New Year, celebrates the advent of spring with new energies of life, hope, prosperity, and joy. The house is graced with a rangoli, the doors are hung with mango leaves, and the symbolic gudi is taken to a height as a sign of victory and good luck. But here, festive dressing has a special place in making the day complete with a dash of celebratory craziness.
