Gudi Padwa 2027 is on **Wednesday 7 April**. It is the Marathi new year, and many families treat it as a good day to start something new, so write in Marathi and build the plan around bookings and delivery dates.

## The date

[Drik Panchang](https://www.drikpanchang.com/festivals/gudi-padwa/gudi-padwa-date-time.html?year=2027) lists Gudi Padwa on Wednesday 7 April 2027, and [Ishvaram](https://ishvaram.com/calendar/festival/ugadi/) gives the same date. [Office Holidays](https://www.officeholidays.com/amp/holidays/india/gudi-padwa) also shows 7 April 2027 (all checked 2026-10-20). The festival falls on the first day of the bright half of the Hindu month of Chaitra, so the English date moves every year. Drik Panchang puts the lunar day (tithi) from 5:20 AM on 7 April to 4:28 AM on 8 April in New Delhi. Check a local panchang for your city.

Telugu and Kannada families mark their new year, Ugadi, on the same day. See [Ugadi ad ideas](/campaigns/ugadi-ad-ideas).

## What the day looks like

Marathi and Konkani Hindus celebrate it in Maharashtra, Goa and Daman. Homes raise a gudi, a bright cloth tied to a bamboo pole with neem and mango leaves, a garland and a pot on top. Families make a neem and jaggery dish, draw rangoli and gather in the street (Wikipedia).

## New purchases

Autocar Professional reports that Gudi Padwa traditionally sees new purchases, including vehicles and real estate. Maharashtra recorded 10,897 vehicle retail sales on 30 March 2025, Gudi Padwa that year, which was 16% of that day's total for India ([Autocar Professional](https://autocarpro.in/analysis-sales/maharashtra-registers-retail-sales-of-2602-evs-and-10900-vehicles-on-gudi-padwa-125638); Vahan data). That is one year in one report, so check your own sales from last Gudi Padwa before you set a budget.

## Timing plan

| When | What to run |
|---|---|
| 15 to 28 March | Teasers: gold schemes, test drives, site visits, festive wear. Collect enquiries |
| 29 March to 5 April | Main push: booking offers and delivery-by dates |
| 6 April | Last call: pickup, local delivery, handover slots |
| Wednesday 7 April | Greetings and handover moments. No hard sell |
| From 8 April | Thank-you messages, then [Baisakhi](/campaigns/baisakhi-ad-ideas) on 14 April and [Akshaya Tritiya](/campaigns/akshaya-tritiya-ad-ideas) in May |

Work back from delivery. Say a courier needs three days to reach Pune and you want parcels by Tuesday 6 April. Your last order is Saturday 3 April (6 minus 3). Stop "arrives for Gudi Padwa" ads that day.

## Ideas by category

| Category | Idea |
|---|---|
| Jewellery | Light gold and coins with clear prices. Gold moves daily, so avoid stale price claims |
| Two-wheelers and cars | "Book now, take delivery on Gudi Padwa" with a family handover moment |
| Homes | Site-visit slots with price, size and possession date stated |
| Home and kitchen | New utensils, décor and rangoli kits |
| Fashion | Festive and traditional wear for the family |

## Angles that fit

- **New beginnings:** a first bike, a first home, a first gold coin
- **Tradition:** the gudi, rangoli and the neem and jaggery taste of bitter and sweet
- **Family:** elders blessing a handover
- **Value:** booking amounts and exchange offers, stated in rupees

## Mistakes to avoid

- English-only creative for a Marathi audience. For Goa, test Konkani
- Calling the day "Ugadi" in Maharashtra, or "Gudi Padwa" for Telugu and Kannada buyers
- Promising delivery on 7 April without stock in hand
- Leaving enquiries to wait. Reply to lead forms the same day
- Copying last year's date. The festival moves every year
