Feel the magic of Diwali in Goa

In Goa, festivals like Diwali are a joyous occasion where people come together to observe long-standing traditions and socialize. Here are some charming Diwali experiences...

GLOW UP!

With streets and homes decked up with bright akash kandils, fairy lights and lamps, there's a different charm of riding through the city at Diwali.

DEMONS GOING DOWN

And, while you are along those roads, you can't help but marvel at the huge artistic effigies of Narkasura, that are burnt on the eve of Diwali.

ROOTED IN TRADITION

Dive into the rich culture. Goans start the celebrations with an early bath, followed by the men of the house crushing the wild fruit karit with the tip of their toes.

RIGHT FROM THE KITCHEN

And, the sight of Goan traditional delicacies like fov (flattened rice), ambaddeachi korom and ros are enough to lift your appetite.

FEEL THE LOVE

The homes of Hindu brethren turn into the warmest abodes as they invite friends and neighbours with open doors and hearts.

RESPONSIBLE FIRST!

As the festive mood takes over, don't forget to be empathetic towards nature and stray animals.
