A deusa do samba na passarela a marca do carnaval... É ela
(The goddess of samba on the catwalk The brand is it Carnival)
Viva Goa, Viva Carnaval, if you happened to hear these songs around you, you can be sure that the carnaval is round the corner. In the 18th century, the Portuguese introduced the carnival (carnaval in Portuguese) to Goa. At that time, Goa was a colony of the Portuguese. At that time, the carnival was popular and celebrated in Rome, Greece, Spain and Portugal. Since its independence in 1961, the carnival has become one the most famous and colourful festivals of India. This festival is celebrated with huge parades, floats, street and ballroom dances in the evenings through the cities on “Fat Saturday” before the 40 days of lent (The fasting period and a time of spirituality and abstinence in Catholics)

In Latin carne means meat. So the carnival is a goodbye to meat as one of the strict rules of Lent is to refrain from meat. This celebration goes on for four days in different cities of Goa, Panjim, Mapuçá, Vasco-Da-Gama, Margao.

In the initial days, the Goa carnival used to spread amusement by playing a role play among the Portuguese authorities and their slaves. The rulers used to play the role of their slaves whereas, the slaves used to play the role of their masters by donning masks made of white flour. Gradually the Carnival influenced of Roman and Spanish celebrations saw the appearances of colourful masks, street dance, Samba, floats and attractive costume.
