How the Marathi calendar works
Month names follow the Sun’s sign at the new moon that starts each month, with an adhik month added about every third year. Each day is named by the tithi at sunrise, which is also how festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi are fixed.
Gudi Padwa is Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, in March or April, and the Shaka year changes that day.
