Zagor / Jagor Festival in Veling, Goa - Folk Dances of India

Jagor or Zagor, which literally means Vigil, is a local ritual filled with music and dance where people stay awake whole night to celebrate and to worship God. Every village has their own versions of Jagor. Although, the tradition has started fading away, but some villages, like Siolim and Veling, still celebrate it with full fervor. Veling’s Jagor is a harvest festival celebrated by Gaud (Saraswat Brahmin) community of Goa.
