Ugadi / Gudi Padwa 2026 in Sydney
उगादि / गुड़ी पड़वा
Ugadi / Gudi Padwa 2026 in Sydney falls on Friday, 20 March 2026. Ugadi (Deccan) and Gudi Padwa (Maharashtra) mark the lunar New Year on the first day of Chaitra, when the new samvatsara begins and the year's panchang is read.
The two differ because the tithi doesn't begin and end at midnight — it can start or finish on different calendar days in Sydney than in New Delhi. DevYatra observes the date correct for where you are, not an India-default calendar.
