TOP 10 HAUNTED PLACES IN GOA
Goa is India's smallest state by area and the fourth smallest by population. Located in West India in the region known as the Konkan, it is bounded by the state of Maharashtra to the north, and by Karnataka to the east and south, while the Arabian Sea forms its western coast. Goa is India's richest state with a GDP per capita two and a half times that of the country as a whole.Panaji is the state's capital, while Vasco da Gama is the largest city. The historic city of Margao still exhibits the cultural influence of the Portuguese, who first landed in the early 16th century as merchants and conquered it soon thereafter. Goa is a former Portuguese province; the Portuguese overseas territory of Portuguese India existed for about 450 years until it was annexed by India in 1961

original art, antiques, curios and furniture from colonial times on exhibition include three-century old Ming vases,
Portuguese palanquins and porcelain from Victorian England and Macau.
2. Learn about Goa’s Portuguese heritage
Your cultural tour will be incomplete without a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage listed church and cathedral complex in
Old Goa with Se Cathedral, Bom Basilica de Jesu and the Church of St. Cajetan being the main structures of significance.
3. Explore Goa’s rich history at a museum
The biggest attractions at the Goa State Museum, near the Panjim bus stand, are the two antique lottery machines and the
examples of antique Portuguese furniture including a table used by the infamous Inquisition that landed on Goan shores.
The Goa Chitra Museum in Benaulim presents the ethnography of Goa.
4. Check out live-music restaurants in Goa
To Goa, music and song is like breathing. There are plenty of restaurants where you can get music groups or one-man music
bands playing instruments and singing live. Raj Pentagon in Majorda, Nostalgia in Raia and Peppers in Margao are just
three restaurants which have live Goan.
5. Get artsy at a gallery
The Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts in Altinho, Panjim, is a non-profit initiative that promotes learning and
enjoyment of the visual arts in Goa. There is an engaging art gallery and the centre runs workshops and many interesting
talks and events throughout the year. Check out its cosy, relaxing courtyard café.
6. Discover Goa’s spicy past
Learn why colonial traders flocked to Goa centuries ago for its spice trade. Nestled among lush, green plantations in
Curti, Ponda is Sahakari Spice farm. A visit includes a 45-minute tour of the spice plantations where you’ll see cardamom,
cinnamon, vanilla, pepper and cloves among other spices growing.
7. Go book-store hopping
Broadway bookstore in Panaji and Literati Goa book store in Calangute are two character-filled, independent stores for
booklovers of every age. Literati book store in particular has a cafe and both have a lovely collection of local authors
from Goa as well as paperbacks by renowned international authors.
8. Seek out these intriguing cultural venues
Situated in Campal, Panjim, Kala Academy is Goa’s state-run cultural centre. It often runs events, some of which are free,
including plays, artist exhibitions, dance and music festivals, concerts, workshops, seminars and other events that relate
to the cultural arts.
9. Experience the beauty of the local temples
The four hundred year old Shri Mangueshi temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is located in Ponda. The simple yet elegant
structure has a beautiful seven-story lamp tower or Deepastambha standing within the complex. Also in Ponda is the stone
pillared Shanta Durga temple which was built in the 18th century.
Bustling Margao (Madgaum) Goa India
Bustling Margao (Madgaum) Goa India
Watch daytime and evening road traffic around Margao
Madgaon or Margão is the second largest city and the commercial and cultural capital of of Goa state. It is the administrative headquarters of Salcete sub-district and South Goa district.
AT M.M.C New Market( Margao Indoor Market) be prepared for an explosion of the senses a heady experience of colors, smells and shops that sell just about everything that you can think of, well, almost. Always crowded, pushing, shoving, haggling, bargains/rip-offs...it's all here. See it to believe it.
For a real slice of India this is a must visit place where you can find all manner of delights, especially local food and spices, 7:04 red chillies and tamarind.
You can also find kitchen utensils which are not available in UK, or are very expensive and if you love jewellery bling 1:42 this is the place to go especially just before Christmas!
If you are looking for gifts to give friends, get some 2:05 local dark jaggery or go for the Goa's quintessential Bebinca , Dodol and cashew nuts and you won't go wrong.
Organic vegetables, beans and fruit sold by multi-colored sari-clad ladies squatting on their haunches,
women selling the iconic rosary sausages , coconut vinegar and bits of pork to make the goan delicacy called 'Sorpatel'.
small stalls selling refreshments like 'Limboo soda', Mango or Chickoo shake to exhausted shoppers, women weaving jasmine flowered head gear with agile experienced hands,
This is the commercial hub for locals in Goa. Though this is very much south Goa if the locals need to do their monthly shopping then they need to come to Margao 1:45 and buy cloth and silk 6:38
Margao Muncipal Council
Margao Post Office
Holy Spirit Church Margao Goa India
Federal Bank
Old Portuguese Mansions
BOI
Local private bus to Majorda , Raia, Loutolim Cortalim to Margao and most south Goa villages terminate at the Margao City Bus Stand.

Panjim Heritage Walk Through the Streets of Fontainhas
The capital of Goa moved to Panjim or Panaji when a plague hit the old capital, now called Old Goa. Below the Altinho hill, came up the colorful houses, not by design but by an order that did not permit white color for houses. White was reserved for the churches and as you see in this video the tradition continues till date.
The narrow roads go through small cafes, homes with oyster shell windows, colorful wells, curio shops, staircases that take you up the hill & art galleries that showcase the local artists. You pass by churches, can climb up the hill to visit the Maruti temple and see the underground fountains. If you are lucky you can see the people playing music or singing.
Panjim Heritage Walk is a light, easy walk that anyone can take. There are always cafes and art galleries to stop by.

Glorious old Bangalore home in Whitefield gets closed in by IT developments: aerial view
Glorious old Bangalore home in Whitefield gets closed in by IT developments.
Whitefield remained a quaint settlement until the late 1990s, which was when Bangalore was hit by the IT boom. It has since become a major hub for the Indian technology industry, ultimately resulting in Whitefield becoming a major part of Greater Bangalore. The International Tech Park, Bangalore (more commonly known as ITPL) in Whitefield is one of the country’s first information technology parks. Despite the rush hour traffic which can get crazier in Whitefield, as compared to other parts of the city and the water shortage problem, this village-turned-suburb-turned-city, virtually fabricated by the IT revolution, is now setting the cultural tone for the rest of the city. Housing offices of several reputed IT and ITES companies, Whitefield has become a hive for housing and development projects, as well as 5-star hotels, international schools, hospitals, entertainment mega-malls and more recently even art theatres.
