New Year celebrations in Maharashtra, India, feature a Gudhi, which is a festive cloth pegged to a long rod, adorned with flowers, neem and other spring leaves, gathya (candied sugar strings) and topped by a metal goblet. It is flown like a flag from every home on the New Year's Day, a festival called Gudhi Padva, which typically falls in March-April of the Gregorian year. 
This Gudhi features an orange cloth, gathya, a flower garland and mango leaves topped by a bronze goblet called 'gadu'. A gudhi is typically flown from a balcony or window at sunrise to greet the new year's sun, and taken down at sunset. There is typically some decorative rangoli drawn at the base of the gudhi, if the space permits.
