Shigmo 2012 Panjim - Floats, Dance etc
Panjim Shigmo 2012 parade was the worst organised this year. It looks like the floats or the participating groups were organising it and not the Panjim Shigmotasav Samiti. Many floats that were ready to roll on to the streets simply refused as they wanted their float to go later on. Some of the giant mythological characters were seen headless or wingless or covered faces to prove they are not ready although they were there since 4pm. or visit this blog shigmo Panjim http://joegoauk.blogspot.in/2012/03/shigmo-2012-panjim-floats-dance-etc.html Huge gaps were seen upto to 30 minutes gaps on 3 occasions. Whereas the last two were stuck up in the middle due to some technical problems which finaly arrived at Azad Maidan after 11pm off beat. Again, there was a delay at Azad Maidan for more than 30 minutes, probably waiting for the City MLA cum Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar who was welcomed amidst spectacular fireworks at the Maidan. Mr Parrikar was the chief Guest and assured the floats and the programme at Azad Maidan will get over by 10pm next year (This year it got over at midnight). Like in the past, this year too 3 artistes are felicitated included Filipe Pereira a tiatr Artist, Pardurang Parab & KhemrajTari - Gumat / Pakhwaj players. There were less floats and dance groups such as Romtamel, Goda modni and other folk dances and floats. Amongst the individual participants (Fancy dress), I like the Abade Farria (Statue Replica, see pic) and Dr. Ambedkar (See pic) which got first prize. Besides there were Ravans, Sai baba, Kali Mata etc I like this one – Half fish half human http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825463562/sizes/l/in/photostream/ another angle with fish tail etc http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971584549/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Dr. Ambedkar http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971584917/sizes/l/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971589643/in/photostream/ Travelling Abade Faria http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825470500/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825476536/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971591323/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825471614/in/photostream/ Narad Muni http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971600179/sizes/l/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971601049/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Narad Senior http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971598657/in/photostream/ The god chops off Ravan’s head with spinning Chakra http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825459568/in/photostream Lord Ganapati riding on a Peacock - Day http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825460524/in/photostream/ Night http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825479664/in/photostream/ Women worshipping Shivalinga http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825461508/in/photostream/ A chariot pulled by Honey bees http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825462474/in/photostream/ Sai baba and Jai Bajarangabali (Hanuman) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971585791/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Kali Mata ? http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825466664/in/photostream/ With tongue hanging out http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825467492/in/photostream/ a part of Romtamel – Players http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971588077/in/photostream/ Multi headed multi handed http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825472940/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825474506/in/photostream/ under the tree, popping out from the sea http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825475550/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Beating Dhol(Drum) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825477674/in/photostream/ A drunkard (Acting) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825482112/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Dhol Bajao dhol http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825483060/in/photostream/ Druxtt Ravaan.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825483312/sizes/l/in/photostream/ God hovering over MG Road http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825483616/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Looks like they carry a giant wheel http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825483874/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Can you count the number of heads and hands ? http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825483874/sizes/l/in/photostream/ goddess riding on a tiger http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971604189/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Free advertising for this mobile store http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971604439/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Just One day old Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971606683/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971605365/in/photostream/ With Shrinivas Dempo http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971605803/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6971606179/in/photostream/ With the rest http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6825487490/in/photostream/ The stage setup http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk51/6965537853/in/photostream/ or visit this blog shigmo Panjim http://joegoauk.blogspot.in/2012/03/shigmo-2012-panjim-floats-dance-etc.html [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
