Goa Carnival
Introduced by the Portuguese, Goa hosts its annual carnival where music, floats and lively processions are abundant
The Goa Carnival, first introduced by the Portuguese, manifested itself in an explosion of music and color from February 12th to 16th this year. The Carnival begins with the selection of King Momo, king of the festivities, after which colorful floats in myriad hues meander down streets chock-a-block with cheering locals and tourists in many different cities all over Goa. I managed to catch up with the parade at Panaji, the capital city.
