FEEL THE PRAYER

The old monuments, churches and temples are a mirror to who we were and what we are and who we still could be.

RELIC OF RESILIENCE

Some of the forts still stand, some have crumbled and some are crumbling, but they all carry memories of a gory and glorious past.

Goa's heritage is not about the history Goans look back on, it is also something they cherish and carry forward.
