Gudi Padwa is a Marathi festival celebrated as the Hindu New Year (known in Sanskrit as 'Samvazzara') begins on this day. According to Panchang, Nav Samvatsar begins with Pratipada on Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) in his Chaitra month.
Gudipadwa Muhurat
1. Samvatsala begins on the day when Pratipada (first day of the fortnight, also known as Padwa) predominates during sunrise.
2nd If Pratipada dominates the sunrise on two days, the first day is considered a celebration.
3. If Pratipada is not dominant at sunrise on any day, Nav Vash is celebrated on the days when Pratipada begins and ends. For
Adhik Maas (extra months are added every 32 months 16 days 8 gatiss), follow these rules: Pratipada only. This is because Adhik Maas is only part of the original month. Adhika Chaitra is therefore considered part of the New Year along with the original Chaitra month.
