Maharashtra Day, Maharashtra Din or Maharashtra Diwas is an annual celebration that marks the formation of the Marathi-speaking state in 1960. It is observed on May 1 every year. The day is marked with grand celebration across the state, honouring Maharashtra’s customs and culture.
On this day in 1960, Bombay State was divided into two states — Maharashtra and Gujarat. The division was based on linguistic lines, with Maharashtra being created for Marathi-speaking people.
The formation of the state was a result of the Samyukta Maharashtra Movement, which gained momentum in the 1950s and resulted in the creation of Maharashtra as an independent state.
The day celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Maharashtra, including its traditions, language, festivals, and contributions to art, literature, and politics.
