त्योहार
| त्योहार | कब | क्या होता है |
|---|---|---|
| Narali Purnima | Shravan full moon, August | The Koli new year of the working sea. A coconut is offered to the water, boats are decorated, and fishing resumes after the monsoon closure — the ritual and the state's breeding-season ban now fall in almost the same week, so the ceremony marks a real re-opening rather than a symbolic one. |
| Ganesh Chaturthi | Bhadrapada, August–September, ten days | The region's largest public event. Household idols from Pen, neighbourhood mandals with queues that run for hours — the Lalbaug mandal, founded in 1934 by traders and fishers of the market, is the best known — and an immersion procession that ends at Girgaon Chowpatty and every creek mouth in the region. |
| Gudi Padwa | Chaitra, March–April | The Marathi new year, marked by a gudi raised at the door, and in Girgaon and Thane by a morning street procession in nine-yard saris and turbans that is barely two decades old and already an institution. |
| The Bandra Fair | Eight days from the Sunday after 8 September | The feast of the Nativity of Mary at Mount Mary, with a week-long fair on the hill road, wax offerings shaped like the body part in need of healing, and a crowd that is substantially non-Christian. |
| Mahim urs | December, ten days | The death anniversary observance of Makhdoom Ali Mahimi, a fourteenth-century scholar of the Konkan coast, with qawwali nights, a fair along the Mahim causeway, and a chadar carried by the Mumbai police. |
| Agera | After the paddy harvest, around September–October | The East Indian Catholic harvest thanksgiving, in which the first sheaves are blessed at Mass and carried home to be hung in the house. It is an agrarian ritual inside a Catholic calendar, and it survives in villages whose fields have mostly become building plots. |
| Bohada | Village-specific, mainly in the dry months | Masked deity processions in the Warli, Kokna and Thakur villages of Palghar and Thane, running through the night with drums, each mask entering in a fixed order. |
| Malida at Khandala, Alibag | Vow-dependent, through the year | Bene Israel families gather at the site near Alibag associated with the prophet Elijah's ascent — a rock with marks read as the wheel-prints of his chariot — to fulfil vows and share the malida offering. |
| Holi and Shimga in the koliwadas | Phalgun, March | Fishing communities keep a longer and louder Holi than the city around them, with palkhi processions, songs that are pointed rather than devotional, and a licence to say things that are not otherwise said aloud. |
