Gudi Padwa

Gudi Padwa is coming! It’s been many years since I celebrated Gudi Padwa, but I remember the celebrations when i was a kid. It was mostly helping dad in raising the Gudi with a long bamboo, neem leaves, kalash and all, then waiting for mom to finish cooking Puran-Poli, Kadhi, Vade etc. (She wouldn’t allow us to start till complete Naivedya thali is set and prasad is presented to God), and then spend all day eating gathi (battashe)! Don’t know how we could enjoy that extremely sweet thing! At least in those days words like calories and fat were not acting as watchmen for everything we eat.
For all those in Bangalore, we at "The Peshwa Restaurant" are celebrating this year's Gudi Padwa with something special. We have a special festive buffet that includes Puran Poli, kadhi, etc. Do visit!
