The most ridiculously fun and amusing mud bath, the monsoon festival of Chikal Kalo (also spelled Chikhalkala) is celebrated only in Goa. This festival celebrates the fun and games that Lord Krishna and his friends used to have whilst playing in the fields during the monsoon season. The heavy monsoon rains that Goa receives turns the ground into a veritable soup especially in the unpaved open spaces, and this is the venue for this festival. Besides the pujas and other religious observances traditional games are played and a gala time is had by players and spectators alike.
