Nav Varsh (New Year)
Nav Varsh, or New Year, is celebrated in various cultures, marking the beginning of a new calendar year. In India, it often coincides with the arrival of spring and is observed in different ways across regions. For instance, Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra and Baisakhi in Punjab are popular celebrations that include traditional rituals, feasting, and family gatherings.
The significance of Nav Varsh lies in renewal and hope for prosperity in the coming year. People clean their homes, decorate with rangoli, and prepare special dishes to welcome good fortune. This festive occasion fosters a sense of community and cultural heritage among families and friends.
