Panaji, Feb 25:  The Goa carnival would be available through the 'R-world' of Reliance Infocomm to all its subscribers giving a real feel of the festivity which starts from February 25 onwards.

Reliance Infocomm, which has sponsored the carnival float parades in the state, has incorporated the festivity portal in their R-world - an infotainment service provided through all their handsets.

"All carnival contents including video footage of kin momo and parades is loaded in the R-world so that people who can't witness this traditional festivity can do it through their handsets," Reliance Infocomm, CEO (Mumbai, Maharashtra and Goa), Atul Jhamb said.

Reliance has also loaded a carnival calender in their R-world which will enable any person to keep track of the celebrations, Jhamb said.

Aptly named as 'Viva 2006', the carnival portal in the R-world has updated schedule and background of Goa carnival, the CEO said adding, "This is an attempt to leverage technology to people who can't come here for the festivities." Reliance Infocomm has sponsored various float parades which will be held between February 25 to 27 in the state beginning from Panaji.
