Goa carnival, designated as one of the most popular festivals of India, is a three day long fest. It had its origin in Goa during the reign of King Momo. Since those times, it has become popular among the masses even more. King Momo conducted the Goa carnival just before the Lent period. Lent is the time period in the Christian calendar when people observe fast and penance. You can see it quite similar to the Mohammedan fast that lasts before Ramzan Id.
The festival of Goa generally begins on Sabado Gordo, also called Fat Saturday. It further concludes on Shrove Tuesday or the Fat Tuesday. It is the eve of Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent season.
The word CARNIVAL is derived from the Latin word Carnelevarium. It means 'putting away the flesh'. Carn means flesh, and leavare means to remove. Carnival in Goa is promoted by the state authorities as the festival for Christian, fun lovers and for various small and large manufacturing and dealing companies. The precise reason behind the carnival is not identified. But it seems the carnival had its origin in the need of human kind.
