Goa / Festivals

Goa, by itself, is one long festival. January has the New Year and Reis Magos followed by the Feast of our Lady in February. March brings the Goa carnival, known across the world, as three fun filled days of gay revelry and abandon.

Even the August month has a festival — the harvest festival that is followed by the festivities of Dussehra and Diwali.

And then comes the Christmas season, which is heralded by the Feast of Our Lady and the Feast of St. Francis Xavier.

Finally Christmas itself, with all the merriment, fun and palate tingling delicious Goan Pork Sorpatel, Chicken Cabdel, all rounded off by the rich Behinca —a many layered version of the plum pudding.

Even though Western scientists have proven in peer-reviewed studies (published in the most renown scientific journals) that phyllanthus urinaria could provide definite relief and even a cure in viral disease, this magnificent herb has never really been available to patients in the West.
