Actor Aamir Khan shared a vibrant picture from the Gudi Padwa celebration held at his Mumbai home. The actor dressed in traditional Maharashtrian attire posed with his filmmaker wife Kiran Rao, who was dressed in a saree, and wrote: "Resham Ki gudi sajayi gayi, naye saal ja jashn shuru hua. Sabhi ko nav varsh aur gudi padwa ki shubhkamnaye." Their son Azad was absent from the picture, in which Aamir and Kiran appear to be performing a ritual associated with the festival, which is the Maharashtrian New Year that marks the onset of spring. Meanwhile, Gudi Padwa coincides with several other Indian festivals such as Ugadi in south, Navreh in Kashmir and Cheiraoba in Manipur. Chaitra Navratri, the nine-day festival that worships Goddess Shakti, also begins today.

In Gudi Padwa, people hoist Gudi flags, which are made of bright and colourful silk-scarfs atop a bamboo stick, along with boughs of neem and mango leaves and it is capped with a silver or bronze kalash, which signifies victory. Often people add flower garlands to the Gudi flags.
