Goa - Carnival

Top 5 Reasons to Visit The Goa Carnival

Carnival - A Reason To Celebrate
The original reason for the carnival was to celebrate the arrival of spring and today it has evolved as three days of revelry and fun. The event is opened by the arrival of king Momo who makes a traditional decree ordering his subjects to forget their worries and have a good time.

Even The Name Asks For A Party
Many believe that the name asks for a last burst of revelry on meat after which Catholics are expected to fast and pray during Lent. With a solid reason like this, how the Carnival cannot spring up to appetite.

Unwind Yourself For The Merry
The Carnival offers many moods to savour for every tourists. Plan a trip to Panaji, the capital, where the festivity centres around a procession of colourful floats. People dance and sing their hearts out with King Momo who precedes the parade.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Rural Way To Celebrate
Drive to the virgin villages of Goa and you can behold a completely different carnival spirit. The whole ambience pulsates to the beats of 'mell'; a group of folk dancers swirling with the sounds of drum around an oil lamp.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dressed As A King
Another interesting feature of the Carnival is the enactment of historic plays and popular legends. The plays are generally enacted by men, dressed in bright colourful attires and uncanny headgears, who perform the roles of women as well.
