Ganesh Utsav in My village (Konkan) Day 6

Today program is we are going to our aunty (uncle’s wife) native place they invite us for their Ganpati so we want to go. And today is also gauri -ganpati visarjan in our area. So we want to return as early as possible. For that we woke  up early and pick up 8am bus for Kudal bus stand.

In between we visit Sindhudurg cha Raja(King of sindhudurg) sarvjanik(public) Ganpti. Like lalbaug cha raja it is just nearby so we first took darshan of Sindhudurg cha Raja and then proceed further.

To reach there home we took 6-seater shared auto rickshaw because buses are not available on that route. we reach nearest rickshaw stand. from there 15minuts walking distance to reach home. We reach there they welcome us then we refreshed & took darshan of their Ganpati. His ganpati visarjan is also today. We spent some time there then took lunch and ready to return. For return we follow same as coming we reach bus stand at 2 pm but now to reach our home there are no bus, so we took bus nearby village and walk 25 minutes for reach home up to that our area Ganpati are preparing for visarjan we took last aarti on his houses and everybody moves one by one to nearest pond for visarjan. After coming all we took sending aarti of Ganesha and then Ganesh idol visarjan (immerse)in pond. All are feeling very sad because in last five days they closely attached with Ganesha  and they won’t to wait until next year for  arrive Ganesh again in their home.

Then I think that this is a good time to go to Goa because if we start from tomorrow then we have five days in hand and we can utilize 3 day for our trip, one buffer day if anything happened and we come return village up to Anant Chaturthi at any cost. Because our Ganpati visarjan on that day.

So I suddenly break atom bomb in home that we are going to goa my uncle is shock….

how can you go?

can you return here or going direct Mumbai?

what about accommodation?

this type of questions hitting me, but I told that we will manage it.

Ok then we are going to Goa tomorrow is final.

Now the twist…..

I keep in mind that we can get my uncle’s motorcycle for goa tour……..

But gods mind something different. in village there are low frequencies of public transport and because of festival my uncle frequently need motorcycle no other way of transport, so we cant able to get uncle motorcycle. And then we decided that we do this trip with public transport. Until we are assuming that we are doing trip with motorcycle that’s why we do not inquiry about buses or train. But, its ok no problem. we are not so far from Goa so that we get something defiantly, that we assured. So we pack backpack with some cloths and some essential things not making bulky, charge camera, mobile etc. and went to sleep.

That’s all folks…..
