Early morning Ganesh visarjan in Amona, Quepem | Ganesh Chaturthi in Goa 2023 | Gomantak Times
In the village of Amona in Quepem, Goa, people walk to the banks of River Kushavati in the early morning hours to perform the Ganesh ’visarjan’, marking the end of the day-and-half Chaturthi celebration.
This is in contrast to other parts of Goa, where Ganesh ‘visarjans’ typically take place throughout the night. In Amona, however, people choose to perform the ‘visarjan’ in the morning for a number of reasons.
Unlike other places, in Amona people go to each and every house to perform the final aartis. By the time all houses are done, it is 3 am.
According to a villager, it is not ideal to perform the visarjan at 3.30 am and also there are crocodiles in Kushavati river.
The procession to the river is accompanied by music, dancing, and singing. Once at the riverbank, the idol is immersed in the water, and people chant "Ganpati Bappa Morya!"

Matoli and its significance in Goa | Ganesh Chaturthi 2023 | Gomantak Times
In Goa, the ‘matoli’ is an interesting concept that gets one close to nature. It is basically a wooden canopy that is hung above the idol of Ganesha and is decorated with seasonal wildflowers, fruits, roots leaves and creepers.
A few days before the Ganesh festival, the locals head to the interior of the forest to source 'matoli' items such as kangla, matti, fagla (Momordica dioica), kevan and triphala. In addition to that, a variety of gourds, pumpkins, bananas and seasonal vegetables are also sourced.
And, in this list of matoli items, you will also find coconuts and areca nuts.
Most of these matoli items have high medicinal properties. Through this practice, one is able to get close to nature and understand ecology better.

Dusshera is the Hindu festival that is virtually incomplete without the ‘marigold’ flower. The problem, however, is not with this beautiful symbol of ‘energy’ and ‘beauty’, but rather with its prices that have skyrocketed due to an increase in demand.
The flowers have shown a significant rise in prices in the market.
