Narali Purnima Walk

Event Information

Narali Purnima is the biggest annual festival for the Koli community. After over two months of no fishing in the monsoon months, the Kolis celebrate the start of the fishing season in their own unique style. The start of the fishing season is marked with praying to the Sea God to bless them with a calm sea and a good catch. Some pool in together to make an offering of a Golden Coconut. 

Boats are decked up, people are dressed up, band is ready and you can feel the excitement in the village. As you walk through, you will see a unique cultural phenomenon of Phoda Phodi that takes place, where young boys compete with each other in an activity of Foda Fodi, a tradition of breaking each others cocnutnuts (No Pun Intended). 

Moreover, you will also be able to see the some historic and cultural facets that make this village walk memorable. Have you heard of the talking Godeess of Mumbai that speaks to its devotees? Or a unique hindu mosque, that is prayed to by all? Have you visited a unique clubhouse that houses the dead Or a met a deity that possesses you if you walk past by it? Or heard the British love affair with a fish that gave it its unique name? 

One such cultural insignia is the Golfa Devi – The Goddess who talks to its devotees. Loved and adored by all the village-folk, this stone idol counsels its devotees in a unique 2-way communication. Walk-in here on an idle Sunday afternoon, and you will see hundreds of devotees queuing up outside the temple to get a solution to their problems. Such is the power of the Devi.

We promise you a evening of lesser known stories: of people, places, superstitions, legends, myths, history and traditions. 

So join us and be a part of amazing festivities on 11th August, 2022
