About : Goa has a rich and varied history. It was part
of the Mauryan Empire in the 3 rd century BC, followed by the rule of the
Satvahanas of Kolhapur and the Bhojas who made Chandor their capital. From 580
- 750 AD the Chalukyas of Badami held sway over Goa until the Silharas took
control in 1086 AD. Goa abounds with famous churches and temples and a
harmonious co-existence prevails between people of various faith. Irrespective
of whether they are Catholic, Hindu or Muslim, many Goans prostrate in
symbiotic reverence before deities of other faiths than the one they profess.
Religion dwells in the hearts of Goans wherever in the world they may be.
Festivals are an integral part of Goan life. Every little hamlet has a
tiny temple or a church with a special annual zatra or a festa. An outstanding
aspect of life in Goa is its harmony and there is always a reason to celebrate.
The confluence of cultures is reflected vividly in the music of the church and
the hymns of the temple. Revelry, music and dance, flow through the blood of
the Goan community. As a result of 450 years of colonization by the Portuguese,
Goan music has evolved to a form that is quite different from traditional
Indian music. This historic amalgamation from the East and West has produced
some of India’s best artistes, both in Indian classical and Western music. The
most popular forms of post Portuguese music were the mando and the dulpod,
whilst dekhni is one of the most well-known forms of dance.
