The Chikhal Kalo is a traditional mud festival that celebrates Lord Krishna’s childhood. The festival happens in the Devki Krishna temple in Marcel, Ponda Taluka in North Goa district of the Indian state of Goa.[1][2]

The word Chikhal Kalo means “Mud Bath.” and the celebration pays homage to the profound bond shared between the farming community of Goa and Mother Earth.[3][4]

In the festival, people smear oil to the body and play in the mud replicating the games played by Lord Krishna as a child. The festival is attended by both locals and tourists. The festival has been recognised and promoted by the Goa state tourism department.[5][6]
