The legendary King Momo, the mythical king of carnival, will rule over Goa for four days and will throw open the revelry in Panaji on February 25 which will be followed by spectacular float parades and festivities apart from an array of events and activities. These floats, music, dancing and décor will be a part of the carnival extravaganza.
