Narkasur In Goa| Happy Diwali 🪔|

The Narkasur celebration in Goa is a vibrant, intense, and deeply symbolic part of the Diwali festival. Held on Naraka Chaturdashi, the day before Diwali, it commemorates the defeat of the demon king Narkasur by Lord Krishna, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. In the days leading up to the festival, people create large, elaborate effigies of Narkasur, often adorned with exaggerated features, fierce expressions, and colorful decorations.
On the morning of Naraka Chaturdashi, the effigies are paraded through the streets, accompanied by drums, music, and enthusiastic crowds. As night falls, the effigies are set ablaze in a grand spectacle, symbolizing the destruction of negativity and the triumph of light. The celebration fills Goa’s towns and villages with energy, fireworks, and the warmth of community spirit as people gather to witness the end of Narkasur, making way for a new year of hope and positivity.
