Goa Carnival 2014. This 4 day extravaganza of fun is from 1st March, 2014 and promises to keep up the pace till 4th March, 2014. The carnival every year covers the entire state and the festivities include a parade of colourful floats and troupes of masked revellers attired in gorgeous costumes singing and dancing to lively music that is usually performed live.
This big bash depicts the tradition and culture of Goa in a unique way. The origins of carnival are apparently the hedonistic feasts of ancient Rome and Greece. It made its appearance in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies, where it metamorphosed into the very Latin singing-dancing-drinking bouts. The carnival is presided over by King Momo, who on the opening day orders his subjects to party.
The exciting and fun-filled four-day non-stop extravaganza is a Pagan festival popular in Latin American countries that were colonies of Portugal at some point in time.
The Carnival is uniquely Goan and is not celebrated anywhere else in India. It is a typical Latin, song, music and dance and precedes the "Lent". The highlight of the exotic frenzy of merriment is the appointment and arrival of “KING MOMO” and his retinue to the capital city Panaji on "Fat Saturday", the eve of Carnival.

The Indian state of Goa was a Portuguese colony until 1961. Traces of the colonial past -- including cemeteries -- are abundant. This tomb, in Colva Junction, gives a bit of an insight into the Portuguese empire. "Here lies the embalmed body of [unreadable], who died on May 15, 1934 in Angola, from which it was transported in a coffin of lead and zinc on April 20, 1935."
