Maharashtra Day marks the anniversary of the foundation day of Maharashtra state. It is celebrated every year with great enthusiasm on May 1. The Bombay Reorganization Act came into effect on May 1 1960, and Bombay got divided into two states, Gujarat and Maharashtra. The people who spoke Kutchi and Gujarati became a part of Gujarat, while those who spoke Konkani and Marathi became a part of Maharashtra. Since then, these two states have celebrated their foundation day every year on May 1. People in Maharashtra celebrate this day in full swing and prepare delicious Maharashtrian food as a part of the celebrations.
