Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President Sharad Pawar marked the Diwali Padwa celebrations in his hometown of Baramati, where thousands of well-wishers gathered to greet the veteran leader. However, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Pawar's nephew, Ajit Pawar, was notably absent from the event.

The Pawar family traditionally observes Diwali Padwa at their residence, Govindbaug, in Baramati.
