Every year on May 1, Maharashtra Day is observed. In addition to International Labour Day, May 1 is celebrated as the foundation day of the state of Maharashtra. It is celebrated with lots of zeal and enthusiasm. This day commemorates the beginning of Maharashtra’s illustrious heritage.
On this day, in 1960, two new states were formed: Maharashtra and Gujarat. Both states had a disagreement about the city of Bombay. The Marathi people believed that Bombay should join them because the majority of the people there spoke Marathi.
