Koli fishers add colour & tradition to Velankanni's early pilgrimage season

The New Indian Express Tiruchy

|

July 16, 2025

EACH July, long before the large crowds pour into Velankanni for its famed September festival, the Tamil Nadu coastal town welcomes a quieter but vibrant group of over 13,000 Koli fisherfolk from Mumbai who arrive during the monsoon fishing ban in the Arabian Sea.

- PEARSON LENEKAR SR @Nagapattinam

For this coastal community, the off-season offers more than rest. It's time for a collective journey of faith and tradition—where almost all the lodges in the temple town are pre-booked months before for their long stay.

The July 1-15 pilgrimage features daily sermons in Marathi, hoisting a flag bearing Marathi inscriptions, and the colourful presence of Kolis from Mumbai and other fishing settlements across Mumbai.
