The festival of Mussol Khel is very unique to Chandor. This is probably the only place in the entire world where a festival of this kind takes place. The festival takes place on the First Monday after Carnival begins, and the villagers dress up in their ancestral clothes and symbolise their Khsatriya Ancestry, After invoking the Spirit of King Harihara, they go around to each house of the village dancing, singing and banging their Mussol on the ground.
For this experience, Soul Travelling takes you behind the scenes of this beautiful festival - meeting participants, exploring the village and singing the Mussol Song. Come, join us and explore this village and this unique festival of Goa.
Please note: You would require your own transportation for this experience and it will NOT be provided by Soul Travelling.
