CARNAVAL WAS a village affair with Khell entertainments in village MANDS,
run by contributions fro locals. first khell had to be staged at RESIDOR
for censor, Khell participants walked miles to gether with musicians and
ate on site preparing the food some famous dances at salcete were the main
attractions and entrance even restricted.On the last day people used to
throw water on know people, apply indigo, facepowder and throw powder
cocoketes/missiles,enthusiasts travelled in disguised masks selling or
simply visiting with sweets DO HINDUS USED TO PARTICIPATE OR IS IT WAS NOT
ONLY CATHOLIC TRADITION? Municipalities staged popular khell.it was high
jacked by Govt and commercial interests, Today it is only concentrated in
cities ,taking the entertainment out of purview of village traditions
