Location: Throughout Goa
Celebration Day: 24th June
Sao Joao is the feast of St. John the Baptist observed
all over Goa on 24th June.
Newly wed sons-in-law celebrate at their
mothers-in-law's house.
On this occasion the mother presents the daughter a
basket full of fruits like jackfruits, mangoes, pineapples, etc. to be
taken home.
A procession of village youth wearing crowns of leaves,
carrying bottles of Feni advances through the village, ultimately
arriving at a well of pond into which they jump along with the
sons-in-law.
