Heavy rain affected the start of an annual fair, keeping visitors away and impacting sales at stalls. The event, which lasts for eight days, got off to a slow start on its first day, typically one of the busiest. A structure at the entrance collapsed in the rain, but no casualties were reported. Stall owners are worried about recovering their expenses due to the poor turnout.

The fair is part of a longer period of religious services. Stall owners, including one selling Goan sweets, are concerned about making a profit. Further details about the fair and its impact on vendors are available from the source.

The event's poor start has left vendors anxious about the rest of the fair.
