Across Goa, the festival of Dussehra was celebrated with great joy and fervor. Embracing traditional customs, locals decorated their homes, shops, and vehicles with vibrant flower garlands to mark the auspicious occasion. Special prayers were offered at business establishments and residences to invoke blessings for prosperity and success.

A significant highlight of the celebrations was the traditional Shastra Puja (worship of tools and weapons). Following age-old customs, families cleansed their household tools, implements, and traditional weapons before offering formal prayers.
