Feasts are celebrated all over Goa, and Goans don't need a reason to celebrate. But here, in the village of Nerul, the members of the Bhatti ward get together to celebrate an interesting 'feast of clams'.
Nerul was once famous for it delicious local clams, which were found in abundance here, and were greatly enjoyed by the people.
In thanksgiving for the bounty, the community would come together once a year, prepare a special dish using clams (called Tisreachem Sukhem), hold a litany in the evening, and relish the preparation with their family, neighbours, and near and dear ones.
