Concerned over the delayed arrival of the monsoon this year, farmers on Saturday gathered to offer prayers to Lord Bodgeshwar in Mapusa, earnestly imploring the deity for a timely and bountiful monsoon.
Farmers from Mapusa and surrounding areas participated in special prayers and invoked divine blessings for a sufficient rainfall that would facilitate the timely commencement of agricultural activities and prove beneficial for their crops.
While the agricultural sector relies entirely on the monsoons, farmers are currently worried about their harvest due to inadequate rainfall and uncertain weather.
Sanjay Barde, Shankar Polji, Dipesh Naik, Caetan, Ramdas Shirodkar, and Sitesh More were also present during the prayer service.
