PANAJI: The last Pilerne Thursday Heritage Market (PTHM) for the season will be held on May 18 from 5-9 pm at the St John the Baptist Church Courtyard in Pilerne celebrating rain. The market will be celebrating Goa’s longing for her favourite cooling, life-giving, food-producing, environment-healing monsoons. A soulful call ‘Pausa, yo re yo’ will set the tone of the celebration.
“After a scorching and sweaty summer, Goenkars wait expectantly for the cooling breezes and rejuvenating showers of the South West monsoons. Goans from all over will welcome the monsoons with song, dance and heritage folklore about what the rains mean to an agricultural society, so intimately bonded with the fertile red soil of Goa,” stated Mario Mascarenhas.
