A music program of popular Marathi bhaavgeet titled Chaandanyaat Phirtana will be presented on Saturday, October 12, at Ravindra Bhavan Margao and on Sunday, October 13, at Kala Academy Panaji.
This musical program is organized on the occasion of Kojagiri Pournima, also known as Sharad Pournima. It is celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu Calendar month - “Ashwin”. As the monsoon comes to an end, the moon shines brightly in the sky and it is this moment that is celebrated where people stay awake and sing through the night. It is also believed that Goddess Mahalaxmi descends on Earth that night.
