Celebrate New Year only on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (Gudi Padwa)
It is mainly celebrated in Maharashtra. The day is also celebrated as Ugadi, which is also known as Yugadi, is mainly a new year festival in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
‘Gudi Padwa’ is the day on which the universe was created. Since on this day Shri Brahma created the universe and the Satyayug began, it marks the commencement of the New Year.
The Divine consciousness emanating during sunrise, absorbed at that time lasts longer. Thus the Gudi should be worshipped within 5-10 minutes after sunrise !
