Rituals of the Chikal Kalo Festival
The originality and uniqueness of Goa lie in its
local festival Chikal Kalo. One of the most
important days of the Ashaad Month of the Hindu
Calendar is the Ekadashi. A 24-hour celebration
includes Akhand Satsang where believers chant
and worship the idol of Devaki holding Krishna as
an infant at Devaki-Krishna temple.
This temple was a victim of Portuguese
re-landscaping program and was shifted from
Chorao Island to Marcel, Orgao and with that
Chikal Kalo festival is also get shifted to this
place.

playground for all, thanks to the rain. One can
see kids playing around, reminding the viewers of
the stories and Krishnas shenanigans.
