History


Marcel was founded by the Portuguese, in 1783, after Raja Bahadur Khem Savant III from the Kingdom of Sawantwadi ceded its lands to Portugal, in order to receive military help against the Kingdom of Kolhapur.


Culture


Marcel and the island of Cumbharjua have long hosted the Sangodd, a water parade that features floats created by tying two boats to each other. These floats feature scenes from Hindu mythology.[2]


Transport


The bus stand of the Kadamba Transport Corporation in the village has largely been unused, due to multiple issues.[3][4] Marcel is home to the Government College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Candola.[5]
