On the day of Narali Poornima, all the Kolis gather at the

community temple, from where they start a procession,
reciting chants, gradually moving to the shore. Here,
they do a small puja, after which the kalash and the
coconut are immersed into the sea.
For the fishermen, Narali Poornima is the beginning of
the new fishing season, as it signifies the end of
monsoons. The Koli community does not carry out any
fishing operations from June to August, as it is not
considered favourable for fishing.
