Drishti Marine’s lifesavers celebrated the auspicious day of Narali Poornima by offering coconuts and flowers to the sea off various beaches in North Goa.
This traditional festival is mostly observed by members of the fishing communities of the western coastal regions of India, including Goa, as a mark of devotion to the sea. Drishti Marine’s lifesavers at Miramar, Calangute and other beaches in North Goa took a momentary pause from their day chores to celebrate the festival by praying to the God of the Sea for protection. The festival traditionally heralds the start of the fishing season in Goa.
“This day is especially significant for our lifesavers, who have a deep relationship with the sea. They risk their lives every day to keep us safe from drowning,” said Navin Awasthi, CEO of Drishti Marine.
Drishti Marine’s lifesavers are first responders to all emergency situations that occur along Goa’s coast.
