Historic Portuguese mansion an oasis of calm in colourful India

(16 Jul 2017) LEADIN
A 425 year old Portuguese mansion in India has opened its door to visitors to offer a glimpse of its colonial history.
The much-loved home of Goa's Figeuiredo family is not only a repository of memories but a treasure trove of antique furniture and precious artifacts dating back to 17th century.
The Figueiredo mansion is now part museum and part homestay and the family hopes to keep its legacy alive in the years to come.
STORYLINE
Unlike the Goa of popular imagination - of sandy beaches and liquor shacks - Loutolim in South Goa is a quaint village surrounded by paddy fields.
Goa was a Potuguese colony until 1961 and a part of that history is visible in the Indo-European architecture of the village homes and mansions.
This is where the Figueiredo family made its home in 1590. A second part of the house was constructed 200 years later.
Age sits lightly on the sprawling, 4-centuries-old Figueiredo Mansion.
It has been lovingly preserved by the family, whose members were Portuguese diplomats, lawyers and parliamentarians.
About an hour's drive from Goa's airport, a rundown, roadside sign reads Casa Museu V.J. De Figueiredo Loutolim to let visitors know they've reached their destination.
A musty smell of history, memories and magnificent wooden furniture pervades the arcaded corridors with rooms on both sides.
Three generations of the Figueiredo family live in the house, each with their own connection to the priceless legacy.
Maria de Fatima Figueiredo de Alburquerque, known as Fatima, was born in this house but grew up in Portugal.
Two years ago, she left her job as an international executive and came back to Goa to help her mother - the current owner - take care of the house.
One wing of the house with rooms full of elaborate carved furniture, Belgian crystal chandeliers, Chinese porcelain pieces, art and family heirlooms has been turned into a museum.
Every artifact in the mansion has its own story, and Fatima's narrative helps in bringing some of that composite culture alive for the guests.
This is the ballroom and all the furniture is made in Goa, by Goans, and by Hindus, Muslims and Catholics. And normally the Hindus they used to put something of their God or Goddesses or their mythology and here we see that this for sure is made by Hindus, Fatima says as she points to the figure of a Hindu God carved in the wooden chair.
The family prayer room is dedicated to the mother of Virgin Mary.
The 200 year old private chapel is paved with a mosaic of Portuguese tiles.
Nearby is an antique chest of drawers made of ivory, metal, rosewood and teak with images of lions carved into the base.
This is the only one that exists with the four lions and also in this size. There are some around the world and there is one in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London but smaller than this one, she says.
The elegant décor of the dining room is laid out on the expansive solid teak wood floor.
Navigating through the lavish room, she points to another family treasure - a 200-year old, 60-piece crockery set made specially for the family by the East India Company.
This is unique in the world with this design and colours. And it is in the family more than 200 years, says Fatima.
Her mother, 87-year old Maria de Lourdes Figueiredo de Albuquerque is the owner of the mansion and the guiding spirit behind the effort to preserve the family heritage.
Maria grew up in the mansion along with her sister when the family was based in the west Indian state.
She moved to Portugal as a young woman, where she witnessed the political turmoil that led to the end of the European country's 451-year colonial rule in Goa in 1961.
Taking care of the stock of family possessions is a daunting task, says Fatima.

Figueiredo Mansion, Loutulim, Goa - Older than the Taj Mahal

Figueiredo House is a mansion in South of Goa owned and managed by Fatima Figueiredo. The house is today partially converted into a museum showcasing the belongings of the family. Apart from that, a portion of the mansion is converted into a homestay with a few rooms furnished to accommodate guests who would love to enjoy a slice of Goan lifestyle.

Some interesting facts about the time during which the house was built. - Shakespeare had just begun writing plays, Galileo was yet to argue that the Sun didn’t go around the Earth, and back home, Emperor Akbar was presiding over most of India. Forget the Taj Mahal, even Shah Jehan had not been conceived yet. Source

MOG || museum of Goa ( Pilerne - Goa )

Museum of Goa (MOG) is an endeavor to take art to the masses. It seeks to break social and cultural barriers and make art accessible to all.

This inclusive space for the Arts will bring together artists, curators, collectors, art enthusiasts, educators, students and audiences from all walks of life. It will host exhibitions, as well as workshops, residencies, lectures, talks and art courses. MOG intends to be a platform for contemporary Indian and international artists, building a cultural network for exchange and interaction.

Envisioned less as a repository of objects and more as a laboratory of ideas, MOG welcomes multidisciplinary art forms – painting, sculpture, photography, design, moving image, music, theater, poetry, installation, and others – to have constant dialogue with one other. Contemporary art is a universal language of sharing and communication today. Through MOG, Goa is positioned in a global conversation, and is placed on the international art map.

MOG offers 1,500 square meters of space to display art and is centrally located in Pilerne Industrial Estate, Bardez, Goa. The three storey structure is designed by the well-known architect Dean D’Cruz. Standing between industries on one side and forestland on the other, it houses galleries, an Art Store, a café, an auditorium and studios for artists.

The state of Goa, in India, is famous for its beaches and places of worship, and tourism is its primary industry. Tourism is generally focused on the coastal areas of Goa, with decreased tourist activity inland. Foreign tourists, mostly from Europe, arrive in Goa in winter whilst the summer and monsoon seasons see a large number of Indian tourists. Goa handled 2.29% of all foreign tourist arrivals in the country in 2011.
1. Can you guess how many bars Goa has?

This is one of those facts about Goa you didn’t know. For a small state, Goa has an astounding number of bars. In total, there are about 7000 bars and almost all of them are licensed to serve alcohol. But what would be the estimate if you add the number of unlicensed bars to the tally? It would truly be an astounding number! Now would that make Goa the liquor capital of India? Not really. Being an international tourist destination, this is land of high spirits and free-wheeling fantasies. So bars are only enablers of the footloose (not recluse) collective consciousness of this region.

2. The non-decomposing body St. Francis Xavier

In the year 1542, the Portuguese ruled Goa. It was during this time that St. Francis Xavier began his work of spreading the gospel. He was instrumental in helping many people turn to his faith and in 1552;
The saint continued on his journey and finally landed at Macau. He died in Macau and his body was brought to Goa in 1553. Enshrined in a glass casing, his non-decomposed body is in the world-famous Basilica of Bom Jesus church.
3. The forest density cover of Goa is over 30%
For those who have not visited Goa, they think this region is only about beaches. But this state has a forest cover in excess of 30%. The forests teem with exotic wildlife and birdlife. An abounding ecosystem characteristic of the Western Ghats can be found here. The equatorial forest cover gives rises to thousands of plant species.
4. Asia’s only Naval Aviation Museum is at Goa
Goa’s Naval Aviation Museum is one of a kind and Asia’s first and only one. There are only about six other such museums in the world. The museum displays India’s naval aviation history. For instance, the giant reconnaissance ship called Lockheed Super Constellation is displayed. India’s first naval aircraft can be seen at the museum. Contemporary aircraft, jet trainers, helicopters, and famous aircraft that were used at wars are displayed. A section of the building houses naval memorabilia.
5. The first medical school was setup in the state
Being a melting pot of different cultures and nationalities, Goa has a distinct way of life. The Goa Medical College was India’s first medical school setup to educate prospective doctors and also to impart treatments. This is definitely one of the facts about Goa you didn't know. It was built in the 18th century when the state was still under Portuguese rule. One of Asia’s oldest medical colleges, the library here is one of the oldest as well, with books dating back to the 18th century.
6. Take a two-wheeler taxi – only in Goa!
This is the only place in India where you can ask a biker a lift and actually pay him without worrying about riding with a stranger! Goa is full of motorcycle taxis and riders take you pillion to your desired destination for a charge. It is known to be a cost-effective form of transport and is definitely fuel-effective for the Goan economy too. Referred to as Pilot,
7. The first English medium school was in this state
Currently, there are tens and thousands of English medium schools. But given that Goa’s tryst with the English language is centuries old, it was not a surprise that the first English medium school was in this state. The pluralistic and egalitarian essence of this state is vivid. Amidst this diversity, people live in harmony and celebration.
