Happy New Year starting from today.” Gujarati New Year, also known as ‘Bestu Varas’, ‘Varsha-Pratipada’, or simply ‘Padwa’, is celebrated on Shukla Paksha Pratipada Tithi of Kartika month i.e, a day after Diwali every year. On this day, the Gujarati community worship Lord Krishna and the Govardhan Hills.
People also prepare a new book of accounts called the Chopda and worship Goddess Lakshmi on this day. As per the popular legend, the day is celebrated in honour of Lord Krishna who protected the entire Gokul village from Lord Indra’s anger as he flooded the village for a week.
