On celebrating the festival at home

Calling it an important ritual, Sonalika said, “Gudi Padwa is a proper ritual at home. So we have a whole procedure at home. We call it Guddi Ubharna. We make it stand. So the ritual is done here. They get it ready. So it's a complete technical. And here in Guddi Padwa, there is no fun level. Here you just do the puja. You go and get ready wearing a sari. And you do the puja.”
