PANAJI: A Christmas tree measuring 42 feet, has been created in the heart of the Capital City at Garcia de Orta, here.
According to a press release, this Christmas tree is a “symbol of love, friendship and hope that has touched the hearts of not only every Panjimite but everyone that passes by. “
The idea was conceptualised by Goa’s very own Gregg Furtado and supported by Kingfisher.
Furtado said: “Garcia de Orta is a prominent place of Panaji that one has to pass every day and the task of erecting a 42ft Christmas tree was taken up as a symbol of unity to keep the tradition alive through these challenging times that we live in and to give everyone a little extra Christmas cheer for the season. In the following days, there will be groups of Christmas carolers performing around the tree and little Santa’s cycling around the City”.
A spokesperson from Kingfisher added: “Kingfisher has always shared a very close bond with Goa and continues to do so. The installation of the Kingfisher Christmas Tree in the heart of Panaji is a symbol of Kingfisher’s love for Goa; a celebration of the festive season; and, a beacon of hope for a better 2022. We would like to convey to all our friends in Goa our compliments of the season and best wishes for a prosperous and happy New Year!”
