Goa Carnival

A throwback of 18th century Portuguese colonialism, the Goa Carnival is celebrated in mid-February each year and encompasses three days of music, dancing and general merriment. Though primarily a Christian custom, the carnival is celebrated with great enthusiasm by the local Hindu people and their traditions are also evident in the festivities.

Venue: Panaji; Date: Mid-February, annually
