Popularly known as “Rome of the east”, and “Pearl of the orient” located on the west coast of India is a land of swaying palms, miles of golden sands, lush greenery, an incredible cultural heritage, magnificent churches, temples and monuments and a unique cultural synthesis of the east and west. The Portuguese settled Goa in 1505 as the seat of the Catholic Church in the east –it only became the part of India in 1961.Situated on the Mondovi River; it still shows a strong Portuguese heritage in its plazas, cathedrals and architecture. Although it is best known for its 105 Kms of magnificent, palm tree-lined beaches along the Arabian Sea. Goa has other attractions of significance. Among them are Portuguese Catholic Church of old goa and the Basilicas  (most of the mummified body of st.francis Xavier is exhibited there in occasion The coastline is indented by numerous deep, sheltered river estuaries, which account for the importance of Goa's harbours on ancient trade routes. Much of Goa's allure is its native Hindu culture combined with its Portuguese-Christian heritage. It has a long, colourful history dating back to 300 BC when it was part of the Mauryan Empire under the Buddhist king Ashoka.
