The Indian Naval base in Goa participated in the annual Carnival parade at Vasco-Da-Game with a vibrant float (tableau) on Monday. The Navy further added spark to the presentation with a short skit and a scintillating band performance, stealing the show at the parade. The float also reflected the theme of Navy Week 2021: 'Indian Navy - Combat Ready, Credible and Cohesive'.

According to the Ministry of Defence, the tableau of the Indian Navy at the Goa Carnival depicted the amphibious transport dock ship, INS Jalashwa, taking part in 'Operation Samudra Setu', that was launched to bring medical relief to the country during the peak of COVID-19 pandemic. The Operation had many phases, where several naval vessels brought LMO to numerous Indians fighting the perils of the deadly coronavirus.

"The Indian Navy's contribution in supporting the Government of India's regional outreach - in the form of repatriating Indian citizens, transporting medical oxygen and delivering 170 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to friendly nations under the 'Vaccine Maitri' initiative - was the highlight of the display. The award of President's Colour to Naval Aviation was also portrayed," the ministry said.

What's going on at the Goa Carnival?

The four-day festivities of the Goa carnival are coming to an end today, wrapping up the last chance to celebrate and make merry before the season of lent or mourning kicks in. Going on in all colours of fun and frolic, the parades have seen huge local crowds taking the centre stage at Panaji, Margao, Mapusa and Vasco-Da-Gama.

While all proceedings and celebrations are under the COVID guidelines watch, the Carnival has painted the state in a range of tableaus, bringing Goa's rich traditions to the foreground.
