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.

Goa is the party capital of India. The Goan beaches rock with parties throughout the year. The waves of revelry spread beyond the beaches to hit streets on four days of the festivity. The beginning of the Goa Carnival is heralded by an order to party from the King Momo. Lively processions of colorfully dressed men and women with wacky masks over the face make it a fabulous sight for photography. Another attraction of Goa Carnival is the themes of flamboyantly decorated floats.
