Gujarati New Year also known as Bestu Varas is being celebrated this year on 14 November. Gujarat New Year starts on Shukla Paksha Pratipada in the month of Kartik. This day is also referred to as Nutan Varsh. Gujarati New Year also marks the time to close old account books and to open new account books, as per the Drik Panchang. The traditional account books of the Gujaratis are known as Chopda. New Chopda(s) are inaugurated during Diwali Puja in the presence of Goddess Lakshmi. People pray to Goddess Lakshmi wishing that their coming year will be prosperous and successful. Chopda Pujan stands as a testament to the rich cultural and spiritual traditions that permeate various aspects of life in India. It serves as a reminder that material success, when coupled with ethical practices and a sense of gratitude, becomes a source of enduring prosperity. On this day, people meet their friends and family members for a get-together, exchange sweets and wish each other a prosperous year ahead. With delicious treats, culinary creations, gatherings, and greetings to loved ones, the day is celebrated to the fullest.
