With weekend lockdown and strict restrictions in place across Maharashtra,
Gudi Padwa, the Maharashtrian New Year, is going to be about intimate celebrations and wishing for everyone’s safety and good health. Keeping alive the spirit of the low-key celebrations, people, including celebs, are looking forward to being home with family, appreciating the little joys of life, decorating the Gudi, drawing rangoli and gorging on some lip-smacking food on the occasion.
All about simple joys
For actress
Archana Nipankar
the simple joys are most important in any festivity. She shares, “This will be the first time my entire family – my brother, sister-in-law, husband, mom and my nephew – will be under the same roof during Gudi Padwa in Nashik. My nephew was born last December, so we all are super excited to celebrate Gudi Padwa together.”
Bonding over food
Meanwhile, there’s a lot of excitement about food among people for the festivity too. Nisha Nambiar, a MBA student from Pune, says, “Our house is already abuzz with what to cook on Gudi Padwa. We are planning to make puri-bhaji, kothimbir vadi, mango shrikhand etc for the day. Although resources are limited- we will use whatever ingredients are available.”
