Fishermen living near the Western Ghats, who rely on the sea for their livelihood, pray to Varun for protection and favorable conditions. It is believed that Lord Varun influences the water and wind to safeguard them while at sea. The festival also marks the end of the monsoon season and the beginning of the fishing season. Celebrations include dancing, singing, and offering prayers for prosperity, joy, happiness, and good fortune in the coming year.Also Read| Raksha Bandhan 2024: PM Narendra Modi Greets People, Says 'Best Wishes to All Countrymen on the Occasion'.Narali Purnima 2024: Puja Vidhi and RitualsFishermen acquire new boats, paint their existing vessels, and purchase fishing nets, decorating their boats with flowers and colors.They perform prayers, present coconuts, and worship Lord Varun.Brahmins observe a fast, perform Shravani Upkarma, and consume only fruits to ensure a prosperous life.Women prepare the traditional dish Narali bhaat.Fishermen also offer pujas to their boats.They take a brief voyage across the sea in their decorated boats.After completing the puja rites, the day is celebrated with dancing and singing traditional songs by the sea.
