Church of St John the Baptist

The church is situated on a hill beyond the village on Colva road and worth a visit. On the arrival of the monsoon, Feast of St John the Baptist (Sao Joao) is celebrated as a thanksgiving.

Young men wearing crowns of leaves and fruits tour the area singing for gifts.

To commemorate the movement of St John in his mother's womb when he was in his mother's womb and visited by Mary, the mother of Jesus, the young men of this village jump in the wells.
