Almost every festival in Maharastrian calendar has been
celebrated in Konkan with wide and extreme level. In that Dashera, Holi, Gupidapwa and Ganpati
festival are prime attraction in Konkan region. Each and every family tends
toward konkan during this Sep-Oct Festival season.
I heard list time people took flights from Mumbai to Goa and
came backward toward their own villages, during this time all railways, Gov buses,
private travelers are full and on road traffic are busted.
During this time if you get and Konkan kanya train ticket then you will be treated as lucky lottery
winner. I would rather say if you will get any train confirm ticket during this
you will be feel like King… ;-p
To fulfill this requirement konkan railway with Indian railway
introduced much special trains toward Konkan from every part of state.
Bappa in My Home |
At villages each family tried to bring lord bappa to their
home for 1 day to 11 days and they
live this days with holi Arti, Bhajan,
overnight programs and try to keep
bappa Happy.
There are more superstitions and believes in konkan
regarding festivals and lords so we fulfill all required believes during this. After five days some families bring Gauri to their
home who is Ganpati’s mother some families bring Ridhi & Sidhi as Bappa’s
brides.In some Malvan region when Gauri came to home they server non veg to her
as “Prasad”.
