Maharashtra Day is traditionally celebrated on May 1 which also marks as Labour Day. Notably, It was on On May 1, 1960, that the Bombay Reorganization Act came into effect. This act was a result amid protests and movements that demanded a creation of an individual state. This demand for a separate state was first made by The Sanyukt Maharashtra Andolan.
To celebrate the day, various events are annually organised keeping in mind the rich culture and tradition of Maharashtra at the iconic Shivaji Park in Dadar
The event sees the gracious presence of the Mumbai Police, the Governor of the state, and other eminent personalities of the state who come together to bring in the Maharashtra Day.
Prior to the formation of Maharashtra, there existed Bombay which included people speaking four major languages including Marathi, Kutchi, Gujarati, and Konkani.
The erstwhile Bombay Province got divided into two States – Gujarat and Maharashtra with the Bombay Reorganization Act. The division of the states was done on the basis of the language that people spoke. Those speaking Kutchi and Gujarati, emerged as a part of Gujarat while those who spoke Marathi and Konkani turned out to be a part of Maharashtra.
The day is a public holiday as all schools, banks, and government offices remain closed on this day.
