Unique to Goa tourism, the carnival was initiated by the Portuguese in 1961. In times of the Portuguese rule, the festival was a boisterous affair full of noise, disorder and wildness. Revelers used to celebrate by hurling things like eggs, mud, oranges and disposable items at each other. The celebration has become refined, cultured and safe over the years. Though the entire state of Goa becomes a springboard of entertainment, the carnival is most enjoyable in Panjim, Margoa, Mapusa and Vasco Da Gama.

Lively processions of colorfully dressed men and women with wacky masks over the face make it a fabulous sight for photography.
