Nariyal Purnima / Narali Purnima is celebrated to mark the end of the monsoon season, as the fishermen now can begin fishing safely and start off their trade.

Narali Purnima is also known as ‘Coconut Day and for those who follow the Gregorian calendar, this occurrence sprays between the months of July-August. The festival is observed with much dedication and enthusiasm in Maharashtra and the connecting Konkani region.
