Narali Pournima

Location: Throughout Maharashtra
Time: Hindu Month of Shravan
Duration: One day
Highlights: Marks the beginning of the new fishing season
Narali Pournima is a festival that is mainly celebrated by the fishermen of Maharashtra. It falls on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravan and coincides with a few other festivals like Raksha Bandhan, Shravani Pournima, etc. The festival is celebrated with much enthusiasm amongst the fishermen, who offer coconuts to the Sea God on this day. Infact, it is this ritual that has resulted in it being named as Narali Poornima.

The term Narali has been derived from the word 'Naral', which means coconut. Pournima is the Hindi term for full moon day. Thus, the name Narali Pournima Festival! The reason for the offering of coconut is that the festival marks the commencement of the new fishing season in India. Fishermen make the offering to appease the Sea God, so that He helps them in catching the fish with as much safety as before.

After the ritual is over, they set out in the sea, in their beautifully decorated boats. After a short trip, they come back to the shore and the rest of the day is spent in the celebrations (that include singing and dancing). The special dish of the day is, ofcourse, made from coconut and is a sweet rice preparation. If you are planning to visit any of the coastal areas in Maharashtra, try to schedule it around Shravan month, so you get to see the fervor with which the festival is celebrated.
