Happy Nowroz.

You forgot about gudi padwa and what that means.

That’s because I don’t know anything about it. Please feel free to briefly explain it to us.

So do I say happy Gudi Padwa? Or is there a different terminology for wishing and celebrating?

Thank you for asking.

Gudi Padwa is the Marathi and Konkani Hindu New Year, celebrated on the first day of Chaitra (spring) to mark new beginnings, prosperity, and the harvest season.

• Terminology: "Gudi" (flag/symbol) and "Padwa" (first day of the moon phase or pratipada).
• Symbolism: The Gudi (bamboo pole, cloth, neem leaves, inverted pot) represents victory, protection from evil, and the welcoming of prosperity.
  
• Cultural Context: Marks the onset of spring and the end of the rabi crop season.

Happy Gudi Padwa always works. For the ones celebrating, Happy New Year also works.

In addition:

• Ugadi/Yugadi: Celebrated in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka.
• Cheti Chand: Observed by the Sindhi community.
• Navreh: Celebrated by Kashmiri Pandits.
• Sajibu Nongma Panba: Celebrated in Manipur.

So many celebrating same day.

Thank you 😊. It’s wonderful to see so many cultures celebrate their new years in the first day of spring, or very early spring.

Nowroz, Gudi Padwa, and all the others you listed. There’s probably more in the central and south Asian regions.

Hope it's ok to post it here.

Eid Mubarak to everyone who celebrates this wonderful day. And just in case, tomorrow is also Nowroz (Afghan, Tajik, Iranian, Uzbek and a few other cultures celebrate new years on Nowroz) so happy Nowroz too ❤️

Parsis celebrate Navroz in India.
