On May 1, during Musadachem Fest, the people got the real feel of green Goa. “All where welcomed with heritage baji pav and lemon grass tea. The NV farm trail gave chance for the participants to experience the traditional ways of roasting Cashew, tanatle(hay) bangde, bhinna, niro (cashew juice), making urrak and feni.”
The participants gathered near the pool, where Uzwaad sang goan songs and played ghumat.
