Feast of St. Lawrence
10/08/2010
Place of event: Panaji
According to Bosquejo das Possessoes Portuguesas, "Before the day of St Lawrence nobody expects to see a sail on the horizon, because it is monsoon; but with the break of dawn one sees the coastal vessels or the ships which have been lying anchored during the monsoon get themselves ready to leave.
The pageant has lost much of its glitter now. The plateau remains largely deserted most of the time except for the vehicles unloading innumerable tourists every day to have a glimpse of the historic fort. The seclusion of the plateau inspires young lovers to play hide-and-seek amidst the wooded part, unmindful of the thorny bora trees growing wild all around.
