Celebrations
The Chitpavans celebrate at least one festival a month. The thinking behind this could be expressing gratitude towards the mother nature and consequently towards the almighty and to keep them in good humor to always get showered upon with their blessings. The thinking also may be due to the fact that celebrations necessarily result into fruitful interactions between individuals, leading to cohesion among various sections of the society. The festivities celebrated by the Chitpavans are as follows:
Chaitra (March April)
Gudhipadva, Chaitrangan, Chaitragauri (Gajagauri), Ramnavmi (Chaitra Shuddha Navmi)
