Gudi Padva (also written as Padwa) signifies the start of the new luni-solar year and is celebrated as a new year in many parts of India. It also signifies the start of Chaitra Navaratri, the nine nights special celebration of our dear mother Goddess- Shakti (more known in her forms of Durga and Kali).
It comes after the last new moon of the luni-solar calendar which occurs with both Sun and Moon in Pisces. Then on the following day of pratipada (i.e., first day of shukla paksha, or waxing moon), Sun enters the sign of Aries and marks the beginning of first month, Chaitra of the new Hindu calendar year.

As Sun enters the sidereal zodiac of Aries, it gains much strength in its sign of exaltation. Such a powerful transition of Sun brings an influx of energy and vitality to earth and all its inhabitants. It brings such cosmic delights into our lives!
The day of Gudi Padva is typically celebrated with lot of fun and fanfare… Oil bath and eating neem leaves are believed to be some of the must-do rituals on this day. This day is also celebrated as Samvatsara Padvo as well as Ugadi (or Yugadi) in different parts of India.
It is important to note that Gudi Padva is one of the three and half days of auspicious (shubh) muhurtas as per the Vedic considerations. Because of this, if one wants to do any auspicious work on this day then it is not as imperative to consider special muhurta (time of action) considerations. Ofcourse one can choose to do their work during the Abhijeet muhurta of the day, to make it an even more auspicious time to commence their endeavors!
