🌸 Gudi Padwa 2026 in London - A Maharashtrian New Year Celebration with Jugalbandi
London may be where we live, but festivals have a way of taking us back home. Gudi Padwa (Maharashtrian New Year) is one of those moments: a fresh start, new beginnings, and the simple joy of celebrating together.
If you’re a student, a working professional, new to the city, or living away from family, this evening is for you.
Jugalbandi is hosting a warm, community-led Gudi Padwa celebration in central London, so nobody has to feel alone or away from home during a festival that means so much.
You’ll walk in and instantly feel:“This feels like home.”
Venue: SKVP, Oxford Circus, London
Date: Thursday, 19 March 2026
Time: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Jugalbandi creates meaningful cultural experiences that bring people together, especially those living away from home.
This celebration is designed to offer:
Whether you’re Maharashtrian, Indian, or simply curious to experience a beautiful cultural celebration, you’re welcome.
