As a symbol of victory Maharashtraians raise gudi! a banner like thing with swastika symbol decorated with colorful silk cloth,mango leaves and flowers with an inverted metal pot on it.In south they make ugadhi pachadi which is the first served dish with six tastes reflecting our six emotions we undergo in our every day life.During gudi padwa day Maharashtrians first taste a paste of neem and jaggery combined symbolizing happiness and sadness in life that has to be faced.Top most dishes done during gudi padwa are poran poli,shrikhand with poori.
