On this day, people observe a day-long fast, decorate their boats, and pray to Lord Varun, the God of the Sea, seeking prosperity and protection from natural sea calamities. Narali Poornima coincides with Raksha Bandhan, making it a double celebration for many families in Maharashtra. This year, the Koli Agri Society, under the leadership of President Chandu Dada Patil, organized a grand Narali Poornima event in Airoli on the full moon day of Shravan.
