Viva la Carnival, Goa

(22st - 24th Feb, 1998)

I had been to GOA recently in July 1997 with Sharad, but when one of my friends at JJR mentioned about "The Carnival" I could not resist a second trip.


What is the Carnival ??
The Carnival is a non-stop 3-day festival of color, song and music, with healthy entertainment for all young and old. It does not matter whether you enjoy or see others enjoying. The highlight of the Carnival is, a float parade with "King Momo" in command and open air street dances, attracting large crowds.


Our trip started on a disappointing note. On reaching GOA we were informed that the Floats were preponed to Saturday because of political rallies by Mr. I K Gujral and Mr. Vajapee.

It will take me some time to put together the whole story of my GOA trip.
So to start with here are the photos. Come back after 15 days to check out the whole story.
