Default Goa Carnival

The Goa carnival, a three-day fest, had its birth in Goa during the
era of King Momo.One can find a lot of excitement bubbling across
Goa,in the month of February,as Goa is dressing up for the carnival
festivities. This carnival is celebrated just before the Lent
season(Lent is the period of fasting and penance in the Christian
calendar and corresponding somewhat to the Mohammedan fast before
Ramzan Id),that usually starts off on Sabado Gordo (Fat Saturday) and
concludes on Shrove Tuesday (Fat Tuesday)-the eve of Ash Wednesday,
which is the first day of the season of Lent.So one can say that this
is basically celebrated before going into the rigrous fasting,the
whole of Goa gets into the carnival mood or the party mood.

Not only human beings but the atmosphere of this place seems to be
dancing to the tunes of joy.At the time of carnival the air of Goa is
filled with perfume of happiness, the roads are jam-packed with fun
and the hearts of the people in Goa is filled with nothing but
enjoyment & happiness.These three days of fun & frolic are days of
continuous music & dance.

Goa is the best place to be visited during the February carnival,to
forget all the wordly affairs in the extravagant fun of this carnival
& simply flow along in the river of happiness and fun.The memories
gathered from the carnival of Goa will never come to an end but they
will grow closer to your heart as the time passes away.
