Guddi Padwa is celebrated with great pomp in Maharashtra. On the day of Gudi Padwa, there is a tradition of worshiping Gudi by placing it at the door of every house. This Guddi of ours has a golden colored copper pot placed on top, and a Kalash, betel nut, auspicious benefit and Swastika are placed in its base. You can easily keep this doll on the door frame/main door of your house or on any table.
How to use the Gudi:
Position of the Gudi: Care should be taken to raise the Gudi outside the main entrance of the house. The place selected should be on right side of the entrance. The right side symbolizes the active state of the soul.
1- The area selected for raising the Gudi should be cleaned and then a Swastik rangoli should be drawn on the ground. Turmeric and vermilion (Haldi-kumkum) should be offered at the center of the Swastik.
