The unveiling comes amid a series of programmes being held from November 27 to December 7 to commemorate 550 years of the mutt’s tradition.
The mutt premises at Partagal in Canacona were established 370 years ago and continue to serve as a major spiritual centre. Organisers expect between 7,000 and 10,000 visitors daily during the celebrations.
