Possession At Marriammen Feast Mahim Fishermen Colony

Another place famous for possession , and the supernatural..is the feast of Goddess Marriammen , where after the slaughter of the goat ritual , the women enter a state of frenzy, and go into a state of possession.. here both the woman and the boy are under spiritual siege , they call this entering of the goddess in the body.. even later at the Maha Puja on the beach before the piercing rituals , the hijra pujari Krishna and the main pujari Ganesh go into a state of possession , it is a amazing sight ..

When the piercings start even the devotees go into possession , glaring eyes and and total state of frenzy..
