Along the Zuari, villagers worship the crocodile
Farmers in Panaji gathered along the Zuari River and Cumbharjua canal to participate in the age-old ritual of 'Mannge thapnni', which involves sculpting a mugger crocodile out of mud and performing a puja. This tradition serves as a reminder of the coexistence between humans and the mugger crocodile, a species that is facing neglect and habitat encroachment in Goa.
