Goa is one of the most secular states, this is very evident with the equal amount of churches ,temples and beaches
OLD GOA - CHURCHES
Goa is the center of a lot of World Heritage Monuments. A very prominent site is Old Goa. Old Goa boasts of more than 13 churches situated in the vicinity. Some of the churches here go back to nearly the 15th Century

SHI SHANTADUGA TEMPLE - KAVALEM
Shri Shantadurga temple is dedicated to Goddess Parvati, the wife of Lord Shiva. King Shahu of Satara built this temple in 1738. This temple is the largest and most famous in Goa. The goddess here is also referred as Durga. The actual meaning of Shanta in Sanskrit language, means peace. Thus by combining the two names, we get the name Shantadurga, which thus means the Goddess of Peace.

MANGUESHI TEMPLE

Shri Manguesh temple is dedicated to Lord Manguesh, a form of Shiva, which is recognised only in Goa. Though small, it has an air of distinctive elegance. Its lofty white tower at the entrance is a landmark of the countryside.

ANCESTRAL GOA

The Big Foot is Goa's biggest designer dance floor shaped like a giant foot and has been created for the express purpose of being a versatile venue for all types of functions and entertainment events like weddings, anniversaries, seminars, dances etc.

COLVA BEACH

If you want to escape from the din of city life and yearn for a tranquil vacation that would soothe your soul and mind, then head straight for the Colva beach in Goa. Sprawling over an expanse of 20 km, Colva beach is the longest beach in Goa.

DONA POULA BAY

One of the most well-known among Goa beaches, the Dona Paula beach attracts tourists with its scenic landscape dotted with palm trees and casuarina groves. An aura of eeriness engulfs the beach, partly due to the legend associated with it. Locals say that the beach derives its name from Dona Paula de Menzes, who was the daughter of a viceroy during the colonial yoke.

MIRAMAR BEACH

Located 3 km from Panaji, the Miramar beach is a bustling tourist hub due to its close proximity to the town. Miramar in Portuguese translates to 'viewing the sea,' an apt sobriquet considering the azure waters of the mighty Arabian Sea that expand into the horizon. The beach was previously known as the Gaspar Dias beach.
