Video Discription |
Margao’s Holy Spirit Church celebrates the feast of Pentecost, which we consider the birthday of the Catholic church, on the last Sunday of May. For two weeks after Pentecost Sunday, the Purument feast spreads out along the roads between Margao’s Old Market and Kadamba Bus Stand. Depending on who you ask, ‘purument’ is either a mangling of the Portuguese word provisão, meaning provisions, or preservação, meaning preservation, and this feast is all about stocking up on preserved provisions like dried fish, mango slices, home-made vinegar and kokum berries for the monsoon season, which begins in the second week of June in Goa. During the rains, fishing boats do not venture out to sea, because this is also the breeding season for many fish. Thus, plenty of dried and pickled fish is needed to survive the monsoon months.
With people crowding the purument bazaars for provisions, clothes and household goods sellers also began bringing their wares. Therefore, purument is the time to replace old utensils and purchase new ones, and you will find everything a Goan kitchen needs, from clay combos to cast iron appe pans. And thus purument became, and still remains, the most important mid-year shopping outing for Goans, second only to the Diwali-Christmas seasons late in the year.
In north Goa, the best purument shopping is done at Mapusa market on all Fridays of May, and in Panjim’s new municipal market. Margao’s purument in south Goa is the most famous of the purument bazaars of Goa, and is a magnet for shoppers and traders from every corner of Goa and from the villages and towns around Karwar, Hubli-Dharwad and Belgaum in Karnataka. This is the market that we will walk through in this video.
Kadio-bodio stalls are at the entries to all the areas of the purument market. The pork bazaar in Old Market stretching down behind the Margao-Colva road is for preserved items. You will not get preserved provisions outside this area.
The main Margao-Colva road has stoneware and pottery.
The Panjim highway is lined with clothes stalls, with a good sprinkling of household goods stalls.
The SGPDA ground is for all kinds of household goods with a good sprinkling of clothes stalls. The giant wheel and fun fair for kids is also on the SGPDA ground.
For some of us, Margao’s purument market remains the occasion to get the perfectly salted dried fish that make it possible to survive those monsoon months without fresh leppo. For others, it is the chance to get really good clothes at really low rates. For a few, it’s the time to spend those savings on that big piece of furniture. But for each and every one of us, Margao’s purument market is a whole lot of bargains, a whole lot of colour and above all a whole lot of fun.
Hope you enjoy this video of one of the legendary shopping festivals of the Queen of the South - our beautiful Margao Town.
