If you take a tour of Koliwada in and around Mumbai this evening, you will definitely hear such traditional Koli songs. At sunset, a group of men with handkerchiefs tied around their waists and nine-year-old sari-clad, gold-adorned Koli sisters will be seen going to worship the ocean. Originally, the Koli community was very festive. In it Holi and Narlipournima of their special love. So today, the excitement will be even greater.There are 34 Koliwadas in the Mumbai area from Colaba to Madh, Bhati, Malvani. The major Koliwadas are Colaba, Worli, Mahim, Juhu, Vesave, Madh, Bhati, Malvani, Gorai, Mahul, Dharavi. Koliwada is ready for the coconut full moon festival. During the fishing ban, many fisher families go on pilgrimages to Devdarshan, while sailors on boats go to the villages. As the coconut full moon approaches, everyone returns to Koliwada. Everyone is hoping for fishing. As it is the breeding season of fish, the state government has announced a ban on fishing from June 15 to Narli Pournima or August 15. This year, with the arrival of the coconut full moon, fishing will resume from Sunday. But before that the sea is duly worshiped, coconuts are offered to calm the stormy sea in the rainy season. This is the tradition of Koliwada for many years. Although the times have changed, the Koli brothers have maintained this tradition.The Koli brothers worship boats on the coconut full moon. Boats are flagged. Decorate the boats with nice colors and float in the sea for fishing. Processions leave Koliwada. Children from all walks of life, including the company, arrive at the port in a procession at the clock. The procession is accompanied by traditional Koli songs and musical instruments. Gold coconuts are offered to calm the sea. The golden coconut, which is a coconut wrapped in gold paper, is duly released into the sea, 'says Sachin Thanekar of Chendaniwada, Thane. After Kerala, Koliwada has the largest economic turnover in fishing. The business generates an annual turnover of around Rs 100 crore. There are nine lanes in this Koliwada. About four hundred boats go to sea every day for fishing. The traditional procession will start before the start of this year's fishing season. There will be a procession through each of the nine lanes. All processions will arrive at the port. Then the pooja will be performed by the village Patil or the street president. Coconuts will be offered to the sea as a witness to the setting sun, 'said Rajhans Tapke of Koli Mahasangha.
