One of the things that make Goa unique, are the laws, a legacy that the Portuguese have left behind. The law also accords equal legal status to both sexes, in all matters. Perhaps, this is why the local women and girls of Goa are not so shy and reclusive, in stark contrast to the rest of India. Most Goans ladies dress in western fashion dresses and skirts, rather than the more tradition (in India) Sari and Churidar. Religion is very important to the Goans. Whether it is Catholic, Hindu or Muslim. Churches, Temples and Mosques abound wherever you journey in Goa. Languages known are Goan Konkini, Hindi, English.
Goa has a charming blend of Indo-European architecture and cultural influences. The rich heritage of Goa is manifest in the brilliant expressions of Goan traditional folk arts, dance, music, drama, literature, colorful pageants, feasts and festivals, majestic temples, churches and mosques |

The main feature of the Goan climate is the monsoon,
which occurs between June and the end of September. Once the monsoon
has run its course the skies clear and the weather becomes pleasant.
For four to five months from October through February the climate
is near perfect-cloudless blue skies, warm but not oppressively hot
days, and calm seas. By mid-March the humidity starts to rise as the
monsoon begins to approach again |
