In fact, hordes of wild fruits and other items used by Ganesh celebrants to make Matoli were offered for sale at various pockets along the NH17 from Padi to Gulem, with several motorists making halts to make purchases.
The special Matoli bazaar annually arranged at Chaudi outside KTC bus stand did not deter the vendors to brave rains, as hundreds of people purchased different items.
The Canacona weekly bazaar was pre-poned by two days and filled the surrounding municipality on Thursday with many Matoli

Several vehicles were seen leaving the State via Goa border, with many neighbouring Karwar natives leaving to the ancestral homes to celebrate Ganesh festival.
