If you are someone who has always associated Goa with beaches, parties and churches, then it is time to look beyond. The coastal state of Goa is so much wider than its beaches, so much deeper than the sea and you surely will be amazed by the culture of this 'party hub' hidden in plain sight.

Besides the dominating Christian and Portuguese communities, the Konkani undertones of the Hindu-Dravidian and Austro-Asian cultures are also fine-tuned into the identity of the state. If you still can't believe us, check out these magnificent temples that stand as a glorious testimony of a beautiful co-existence!
