Purument is a custom practiced in Goa, just before monsoons hit the west coast. Goans stack up essentials for daily use. Fishing is not feasible during rainy days, and in the early days commutes used to be inconvenient, many such factors contributed to a custom called Purument. What exactly is it about? Let us help you understand. Here is all about this significant part of Goan lifestyle.
Goans enthusiastically purchase and stock up on essentials such as spices, cereals, pulses, chilies, dried fish, and sausages to last through the monsoon season.
The markets come alive with the enticing aromas of these essentials, reflecting the community's preparation efforts.
The practice of Purument is a long-standing tradition. It is focused on preserving food during the monsoon when fresh supplies are harder to obtain.
Historically, Purument was crucial due to the lack of modern refrigeration and the transportation challenges posed by heavy rains.
Although the necessity of Purument has diminished with year-round availability of goods, the cultural and historical significance of this practice continues.
