It is the first day of maharashtrian year. (shaliwahan shak) So it is also called as "Chaitri Padwa"
The reason for calling it "Gudhi Padwa" is different.
It is the day, when Shri Rama obliterated Rawana and came back to Ayodhya.
So on that day, the victory of good over the evil is celebrated by erecting auspicious Gudhi on each house.
Therefore, even in Bengal and North India, on the eve of gudhi padwa (i.e. Phalgun Amavasya), a statue of Rawana is burned with a lot of fireworks.
