The Shigmo festival, also known as Shigmotsav is a spring festival is celebrated in Goa. The Shigmo parades consist of traditional folk and  street dancers and elaborately built floats depicting scenes from  regional mythology and religious scenes. Goa’s answer to the festival of  colours, Shigmotsav can be termed a fusion between Holi and Carnival.  It is the biggest festival for Hindus and is spread over a fortnight.  The grand finale of the festival is the artistically-designed and  beautifully-lit floats taken out in the state capital Panaji and other  places like Ponda, Vasco, Madgaon and Mapusa. Shigmotsav is celebrated  on the full moon day in the month of phalguna, the last month of the Hindu calendar.
