Mapusa market was first heard in the 1580 by a Dutch Chronicler, who even described it as the "Bazaar Grande".

The festivals attracted large crowds seeking to fulfill their individual wishes, which needed pots and oil lamps as offerings to propitiate the Gods. Both Mapusa's location at the hub of commercial activity and its proximity to a place of religious pilgrimage have caused the Mapusa market to grow to its current size and scope.
