We are all geared up to welcome the Hindu New Year which is considered as one of the three and a half Muhurtas. ‘Chirayu 2026’ organized by ‘Shelar Mama Foundation’ on the occasion of upcoming Gudi Padwa was concluded with great pomp and enthusiasm. The entire Marathi art world was united on this occasion. Marathi New Year is welcomed with a bang by ‘Chirayu’, creating a nest of entertainment with new resolutions and work-projects. The specialty of ‘Chirayu’ organized by Shelar Mama Foundation is that through innovative concepts ‘Chirayu’ constantly conveys a different and positive message. Along with the joy of innovation, the artists working behind the scenes are noticed on the stage of ‘Chirayu’.

This year, the unique concept of ‘Seed Gudhi’ was realized on the stage of Chirayu. This Gudhi was prepared using the seeds of Godhas. This ‘Seed Gudhi’ which was erected became not only a symbol of tradition but also an inspiration to preserve the relationship with nature. A resolution was also expressed on this occasion to create a green environment by growing trees from these seeds in the future. Combining tradition and environment, this activity proved to be an inspiration for the attendees. The ceremony was resplendent in an atmosphere of excitement and joy. Since 2026, this honor ceremony is being organized continuously through ‘Shelar Mama Foundation’.
