Panaji: Goa celebrated the Feast of the Three Kings with deep devotion and vibrant cultural expression across the picturesque villages of Cansaulim, Chandor and Reis Magos, bringing together local communities and visitors in a shared observance of faith and tradition.
The Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) team, led by Chairman Shri Kedar J. Naik, along with Managing Director Shri Kuldeep Arolkar, General Manager Shri Gavin Dias, Deputy General Manager Shri Deepak Narvekar and other officials, actively participated in the celebrations held at Reis Magos. The feast was marked by solemn Holy Masses and colourful processions at local churches, fostering a strong sense of devotion and communal harmony.
Hon’ble Minister for Tourism Shri Rohan A. Khaunte said that cultural and spiritual festivals form an integral part of Goa’s tourism landscape. “Such celebrations help preserve traditions, highlighting the deep-rooted faith, harmony and community participation that define Goa, while offering visitors an opportunity to experience authentic local traditions,” he stated.
GTDC Chairman Shri Kedar J. Naik подчеркнул that community-based festivals play a vital role in showcasing Goa’s cultural identity. “These events help connect visitors with local traditions while ensuring that cultural practices continue to thrive in their natural community setting,” he said.
A major highlight of the celebrations was the evocative reenactment of the journey of the Magi, with three young men symbolically portraying the Wise Men as they carried traditional offerings through village streets. Traditional music, vibrant processions and community-led events added colour and energy to the festivities.
The celebrations were further amplified through a focused promotional campaign using digital platforms and influencer collaborations, enabling the cultural significance of the Three Kings Feast to reach audiences beyond the State. Goa Tourism also set up an information canopy at the church premises, where visitors were provided details on tourism services and offered refreshments and mementoes, enhancing their overall experience.
The Three Kings Feast 2026 once again showcased Goa’s rich spiritual heritage and strong community bonds, reinforcing its identity as a destination where faith, culture and tradition are celebrated in a meaningful and inclusive manner.
