Bonderam - The flag festival of Divar Island Goa, India.
On the fourth Saturday of August every year, is when this sleepy village comes alive to celebrate an old tradition that is exclusive to this island only in Goa.
During colonial rule in Goa, there were frequent disputes between two sections of the island over property issues. These often led to violence amongst the villagers. Subsequently, the government introduced a system to demarcate boundaries with flags known as bandeiras.
The festival draws everyone out of their homes for the fancy dress parade and the music that lasts late into the night.
