About Rakhi Fest Mumbai
Raksha Bandhan Festival is popularly known as Narial Purnima Festival or Coconut Full Moon by people living in Mumbai's famous beaches. A unique ceremony is carried out to propitiate the Varuna - the Hindu Sea God. Following the custom, fishermen throw auspicious coconuts into the sea and seek blessings of Varuna. It may be noted that the 'three eyes' of coconut are believed to represent the three-eyed Shiva and hence carry tremendous religious significance for Hindus.
