--------------GUDI PADWA-----------
First day of New Year.
A busy day for housewives who set up the gudi atop their houses and perform a pooja to welcome the New Year.
A tall pole is draped with the piece of bright, pleated silk and covered with an upturned metal Kalash(made either of copper, steel or silver).
A branch of feathery green neam leaves and flowers is entwined artistically around it, along with the garland of gathis(Sugar candy).
The day begin with the pooja after that Parsad is served.
This is a combination of tender neem leaves and jaggery ground together into a paste and shaped into little pellets. Later special sweet like Puran poli(My Favourite and specially when Ghee(Toop) and Milk) or Shrikhand are made in every house holds and friends and relatives makes this an occasion to visit and wish each other a prosperous new year.
