The annual Sangod Utsav, celebrated on the seventh day of Ganesh Chaturthi, took centre stage at the Cumbharjua Canal, drawing villagers, devotees, and visitors in large numbers. 

The festival is rooted in the Ganesh Visarjan ritual on the seventh day, which gave rise to this unique centuries-old tradition. Over the years, it has evolved into a vibrant cultural celebration that beautifully captures the essence of Goan life through devotion, performance, and community spirit.

Present to witness the spectacle were Mauvin Godinho, minister for Panchayat along with Premendra Shet, MLA Mayem, Kedar Naik, director of state tourism, and Rajesh Faldesai, MLA (Cumbarjua) & Chairman, Goa Rehabilitation Board, together with Gaurav Kudchadkar (CSR – Deccan Fine Chemicals), Shivaji M. Shet (President, Shree Shantadurga Kumbharjuvekarin Temple), Chandrashekhar Phadte, and local leaders including Sachin Gaude (Sarpanch) and Sudhir Phadte (Dy. Sarpanch), supported by Panchayat members and the entire community.
