Sangodd Festival- The Boat Festival
Goa is a land with a rich cultural heritage. People of various faiths celebrate unusual holidays like the Sangod. Everyone is invited to join in the celebrations, yet the spirit of the occasion never fades. This is what distinguishes Goa and keeps tourists coming in droves. Goa observes the Sangodd festival on June 29 every year. The feast days of Saints Peter and Paul are celebrated on this day. This celebration is highly significant to the fishing community since Saint Peter, a fisherman by trade, is the patron saint of all fishermen.
How is Sangodd Festival celebrated?
On this day, which marks the beginning of the "rampon" fishing season, the sea is blessed and the boats are prepared for the next fishing season. Making a "Sangodd," which is constructed by combining three to five boats, symbolizes St. Peter and St. Paul's contributions to the construction of the Catholic Church and is done to honor the celebrations. On this day, fishermen memorialize their lost coworkers and give petitions to the Almighty by saying prayers and litanies.
The St. Cruz Chapel Committee, which consists of 10 individuals, organizes "Sangodd" yearly in Candolim. Several Candolim residents said that Orda was home to several fishing families. Their ancestors observed the celebration of 'Sangodd', a ritual that has been around for more than 150 years. "Sangodd" begins at the Orda jetty at 3:30 p.m. and used to make six more stops in the sea so that spectators gathered in various areas could see the celebration. Generations have continually continued the festival celebration custom, and with time, their devotion to the Saint has grown.
