diwali

 The festival of lights decorates India for six days all around the country. Diwali is one of the most important Hindu festivals and is celebrated on a grand scale. Though Goa was colonized by the Portuguese for a long time, the influence of Hindu Gods and Goddesses hasn’t faded through the years.

Effigies of Narakasura are made with dried leaves, paper and fire crackers. People carry these effigies in a procession, while abusing and taunting the demon, and burn it post dusk.
