To a number of tourists, Goa is a land of golden beaches dotting the western coastline of a tiny state of a great civilization called 'India'. To the religious minded, Goa is a place of ultimate faith with reminiscences of the oldest magnificent churches existing in the country. To Indian pilgrims, Goa is a cluster of unique temples preserved with ultimate care by a religious society to perform their rites even in this century. goa has a lot of Mediterranian and Konkani culture, blended uniformly and preserved carefully by a community of peace loving people. but to me, Goa is a land of peace, soaked in monsoon rains; Goa is a land of fulfillment, inhabited b a population of contended people. Goa ypnotizes one and all with its tranquility and serenity. Goa is like moonlight traversing through foliage deep into your mind. A journey through Goa is an unforgettable experience.
