Significance of Gudi on Gudi Padwa

Making a Gudi at home is a cherished tradition during the festival of Gudi Padwa. To create your own Gudi, start by acquiring a long bamboo stick or pole, which will serve as the main support. Next, tie a bright-coloured cloth, preferably red or yellow, around the top end of the bamboo stick, leaving some cloth to hang down like a flag. Then, adorn the Gudi with decorative items such as mango leaves, marigold flowers, and a garland made of neem leaves, which symbolise prosperity, auspiciousness, and the triumph of good over evil. Lastly, place a copper or silver pot (kalash) inverted over the cloth, representing wealth and fertility, and your homemade Gudi is ready to be hoisted outside your home or on your terrace to mark the beginning of the New Year.
