Gudi Padwa 2025

Namaskaar Mandali,

As per the tradition, we will celebrate the Gudi Padwa function at the HARI Temple on Sunday, March 30th, 2025.

Marathi families have been sponsoring this meal for past several years. I am very proud to note that over the past several years, we have enjoyed a BIG attendance for this dinner, almost close to 500+ people!

This has been possible only due to generous support from all of you. I am hoping to have the same support this year as well.

This year, we are planning the menu as follows:

  1. Polya
  2. Papad
  3. Saadhaa Bhaat
  4. Gravy Bhajee (Cauliflower–Matar–Potato mixed)
  5. Black Eyed Beans (Chavli) Usal
  6. Koshimbeer (Yogurt-based, Kakadee–Gajar–Tomato mixed)
  7. Jilebee

All the food items needs to be prepared as No Onion and No Garlic.

If you would like to contribute from the above menu please do so by March 24th, it would help greatly to plan the meal. You can sign-up and pick the item you wish to contribute. You can contribute to multiple items per your wish.

If you wish, you can support to sponsor buy-out items like Polya, Jilebee etc. please sign-up using the above link and you can bring the items to the temple.

If you have further questions, I can be reached by email at leena.pattarkine@gmail.com. I will get in touch with you as soon as possible once I receive your email.

Looking forward to your GENEROUS support in making this happen successfully yet again,

Thanks,
On Behalf of all the Marathi families,
Leena Pattarkine
