In India, Carnival is celebrated only in the state of [[Goa]] and was originally a local Roman Catholic tradition known as '''Intruz''' which means "swindler" in [[Konkani language|Konkani]] while ''Entrudo'' is the appropriate word in [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] for "Carnival". The present commercial version of the Goan carnival ([[King Momo]], floats, etc.) was created based on the [[Rio Carnival]] only in the 1960s as a means of attracting tourism.<ref>{{cite news

====Indonesia====
In [[Indonesia]], the word "carnival" or ''karnaval'' is not related to pre-[[Lent]] festivities, but more to festivals in general, especially those with processions and extravagant costumes. One of the largest carnivals in Indonesia is the [[Solo Batik Carnival]], held in [[Surakarta|Solo]], [[Central Java]]. The Jember Fashion Carnaval is held in [[Jember]], [[East Java]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Jember Fashion Carnival|url=http://www.jemberfashioncarnaval.com/main.php?com=contact|website=Jember Fashion Carnival|access-date=11 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170812021225/http://www.jemberfashioncarnaval.com/main.php?com=contact|archive-date=12 August 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Roman Catholic community of [[Kupang]], [[East Nusa Tenggara]], held an Easter procession in form of an Easter Carnival called ''Pawai Paskah Kupang''.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.antaranews.com/berita/489130/pemuda-lintas-agama-akan-ramaikan-pawai-paskah-di-kupang| title=Pemuda lintas agama akan ramaikan Pawai Paskah di Kupang| author=Kornelis Kaha| date=5 April 2015| access-date=20 April 2015| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150418030213/http://www.antaranews.com/berita/489130/pemuda-lintas-agama-akan-ramaikan-pawai-paskah-di-kupang| archive-date=18 April 2015| url-status=live}}</ref>

In the [[Philippines]], the [[Manila Carnival]] ([[Philippine Spanish]]: {{lang|es|Carnaval de Manila}}) was formerly a major annual event in [[Manila]] during the early [[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|American colonial period]] up to the time before the [[Second World War]]. It was organized by the American colonial administration to showcase the economic development of the [[Philippines]]. The highlight of the event is the crowning of the Carnival Queens, which is the precursor of later national pageants like [[Miss Philippines]].<ref name=mcbs>{{cite web | url=http://manilacarnivals.blogspot.com/2008/07/3-oh-meet-me-at-carnival.html | title=Oh, Meet Me at the Carnival | date=20 July 2008 | publisher=Manila Carnivals, Alex R.

The carnival lasted around two weeks in which a variety of shows were presented like [[circus]], [[vaudeville]], [[slapstick]] comedies, and [[theater]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://manilacarnivals.blogspot.com/2008/07/2-man-plan-carnival.html | title= A Man, A Plan, A Carnival | date= 16 July 2008 | publisher=Manila Carnivals, Alex R.

The carnival was first held in February 1908 and was initially only a city celebration. It expanded to a national scope by 1912,<ref name=mcbs/> the year that it was held concurrently with the Philippine Exposition.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Governor|first=Philippines|url=http://name.umdl.umich.edu/ACX1716.1912.001|title=Report of the governor general of the Philippine Islands. [1912]|date=2005}}</ref> It was discontinued in 1939, due to the outbreak of the Second World War. It was also not held during the [[Japanese occupation of the Philippines]] (1941 to 1944). After [[Philippine independence]] in 1946, it was never renewed.<ref name=mcbs/><ref>{{cite book |title=Civil Affairs Handbook: Philippine Islands, Volumes 1-15 |author=United States Army Service Forces|date=25 April 1944 |publisher=Headquarters, Army Service Forces}}</ref>

In the modern Philippines, thousands of annual festivals and [[Patronal festival|fiestas]] throughout the islands feature public celebrations and street parade competitions with elaborate costumes similar to the carnival. However, they are not tied to the Lenten period and are instead celebrations of a [[Catholic]] [[patron saint]], of the local culture, or both.
