Dear Friends,

Goa is famous for its annual Viva Carnival which is an occasion of joy and cheers. This time Mr. Chandan D.N.Gaonkar of Panaji (Goa) is before you with a special photo feature on this Carnival.

--Dr. Pankaj Sharma.

Goa (India) is famous for its Viva Carnival which is celebrated annually with great zeal and has a history of about 500 years. This year the carnival was commemorated from 13th – 16th February. This four - days festival started in Panaji, the capital city of Goa. The carnival parade began on 13th February (Saturday) at 3.30pm and was witnessed by a big number of Goan locals and tourists. Carnival parade set in motion with the float of Momo (the ancient Portuguese king, who believed in “eat, drink and merry”). Everyone was full of delight. There were more than 80 floats showing the culture and traditions of Goa whereas some were giving social awareness messages. The event was a grand success. The parade was brought up by the department of tourism (Government of Goa) in association with Goa Tourism Development Corporation Ltd. To conclude, it was a memorable event where thousands of people joined to have pleasure together.
