Gujarati New Year, which is usually celebrated one or two days after Diwali, signifies the closing of old account books and the opening of new ones and marks the beginning of the Gujarati calendar, Vikram Samvat. It starts on the day of Govardhan Puja, also called Annakut Puja, and is also called Bestu Varas or Gujarati Nav Varsh. Gujaratis celebrate this festival on a grand scale and decorate their houses with full devotion for the festivities and even wear new clothes.
