The word Chikhal Kalo means “Mud Bath.” and the celebration pays homage to the profound bond shared between the farming community of Goa and Mother Earth.[3][4]
In the festival, people smear oil to the body and play in the mud replicating the games played by Lord Krishna as a child. The festival is attended by both locals and tourists. The festival has been recognised and promoted by the Goa state tourism department.[5][6]
