Shigmotsav


01/03/2010 - 31/03/2010

Place of event: All over Goa

Shigmotsav is one of the popular festivals of Goa, celebrated in the month of Phalguna (March). The festival commences with Naman (obeisance) of villagers from ninth moon day to full moon day. From 11th to 15th moon day, they gather at the village temples, with their multi-coloured attire, flags, torans, and column-like red spotted "Dwajas". Fifth day of the Shigmo festival is the day of rejoicing. This day is called as “Rang Panchami”. Red powder (Gulal) is profusely used by the people for the celebration. A spectacular Shigmo parade is annually held in the Panjim city. This parade is also held at Vasco, Margao, Mapusa and Ponda.

Welcome to Goa!

Goa hotels team

Meet Ashok and Muriel Doshi - we are your local connection in Goa. When we married and moved to Muriel's home town of Goa, we re-discovered every nook and corner of Goa, from the winding roads to the beach with swaying palms, to the green paddy fields and off-beaten tracks in the surrounding hills. We realised that we wanted to share our knowledge and passion for Goa with travellers, and give them the same experience we have had in this beautiful part of the world.
