Starting with a Christmas fairy tale, a series of entertainment smoothly flows on the beaches of Goa into a New Year's extravaganza. For local residents who profess Christianity, this holiday coincides with the New Year in the rest of the world and begins on the first day of January. It is customary to celebrate it in the family circle, serve fish or poultry, Indian sweets, fruits and rice on the table. It is believed that a rich table will bring abundance in the next year, and Indians believe in this sacredly..
After midnight, young family members go to discos, which, in the warm climate of Goa, also happen right on the beaches. In nightclubs, music thunders and fresh juice squeezed from lime and sugar cane pours like a river. Hindus do not have much respect for alcohol, but they have just as much fun in its absence. The apotheosis of the holiday - meeting the sun on the sand and swimming in the ocean.
