The word Gudi Padwa is made of two words - Gudi refers to the flag (garlanded with flowers, mango and neem leaves, topped with upturned silver or copper vessel) and padwa or padava or padavo comes from the Sanskrit word pratipada which refers to the first day of a lunar fortnight.
The festival of Gudi Padwa is observed with colourful floor decorations called rangoli, a special Gudhi flag, street processions, dancing and festive foods.
