To mark the auspicious occasion of Narli Purnima, Koli homes are cleaned, painted, and decorated with toran (floral garlands) hung over the entrances. Some households also make colourful rangoli (decorative patterns) at the entrance.
Golden coconuts, covered in gold foil, are offered to Masan Devi for her blessings. Masan Devi is worshipped by the Koli community as the guardian deity of Versova Koliwada. The Masan Devi Temple is located in Versova.
The purna kalasha (pot of fertility) consists of a pot traditionally made of metal such as copper, brass, silver, or clay. It is filled with water, and five or more fresh mango leaves are placed around the neck. A whole coconut is placed on top, nestled among the mango leaves. The purna kalasha symbolizes fertility and is used in Hindu ceremonies to bless new beginnings.
The centrepiece of the procession is a carriage carrying the purna kalasha (pot of fertility). The carriages come in various designs, reflecting the creativity of the community. They can be carts (pictured), palkis (open litters), raths (chariots), or other forms of transport.
The organizing committees each have their own music band. These bands, playing saxophones, trumpets, drums, cymbals, and various other musical instruments, accompany the procession as it makes its way through Versova Koliwada.
Flowers and floral garlands are used to decorate the carriages carrying coconuts and are featured in various puja rituals. Flowers, along with coconuts, are also offered to the sea.
The Kaner-ki-Putli Temple is situated near a water stream in the locality known as Kharen with a boundary wall and a pathway guiding visitors to the temple.
