FATORPA ZATRA

As the winter season unfolds its tranquil embrace over Goa, it not only marks the commencement of a thriving tourism season, ushering in substantial revenue but also heralds the onset of enchanting festivities around the temples. Known as Jatrotsav or Zatra, these celebrations paint a vibrant tapestry of cultural richness across the state.

Goa, is adorned with numerous temples, each boasting its distinctive charm, making the Zatra a spectacle of diverse traditions. Take, for instance, the renowned Zatra of Lailari Devi, where devotees, known as Dhonds, captivate onlookers by fearlessly walking on a bed of fiery embers, expressing their deep devotion to the goddess Lairai.

Similarly, the Zatra of Shantadurga Kunkalikarin stands out for its unique rituals, notably the presentation of the PADD-a sacred offering comprising two coconuts, verdant bangles, emerald-hued fabric, fragrant rice, delicate flower garlands, aromatic incense sticks, vermilion, ripe bananas, and more-all tenderly bestowed upon the revered goddess. These captivating ceremonies add an extra layer of allure to Goa's winter, seamlessly blending spirituality with the region's inherent beauty.

Nestled in the serene landscapes of Fatorpa within the Quepem Taluka, the Shri Shantadurga Kunkalikarin Temple stands as a timeless testament to Goa's rich cultural heritage. Embracing antiquity, this temple, dedicated to the venerable Goddess Shri Shantadurga, is not only one of the oldest in the region but also a premier destination for those seeking a spiritual and historical sojourn in Goa.
