  • Things to Do at the Villa / in Chorao
    Things to do at the villa / in Chorao o Just laze around the house (you have been working too hard in life, you have come away from family and children, tired of those demanding bosses, fed up of those polluted and fast pace cities?? – its time to take a break from it all – JUST RELAX!!!. o Spend time beside the pool, have a few beers and chill out. o Read a book from the villa library. Get some local feni and try that out on a sunny afternoon. o Walk around the island in the evenings – meet the villagers and unknown people (something you will not be able to do in Bombay or London). o You love photography? take a walk around the island for bird watching (remember you will be living in the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary). Also behind the villa, on the hill or in the fields if you are lucky you may spot peacocks, kingfisher birds, cranes and other migratory bird species. o Walk up to the hill top hiking for pure photography thrills at ‘Krist Rei Statue of Christ the King’. Legend has it that a stolen statue of Christ the King mysteriously appeared overnight on this hilltop in Chorao; a worthwhile hike for aerial views of Goa’s skyline. You have beautiful views from the top of all the rivulets, Old Goa, Divar Island, Panjim, etc. This is the only point one can stand and see 3 talukas of Goa (Tiswadi, Bicholim & Bardez). http://the-shooting-star.com/2014/09/02/offbeat-goa-12-mind- blowing-experiences/ o Play games.

  • Goa: Islands in the Stream Although the Beautiful Islands of Chorao
    Goa: Islands in the Stream by traveldesk Although the beautiful islands of Chorao and Divar are just a short distance away from the capital city of Panaji, they are rarely on the regular itenarary of the tourists. However, both these islands are truly worth a visit, if only to get a taste of the tranquil and picturesque setting of rural Goa. Chorao Island To reach Chorao Island, you need to take the ferry ride across from the village of Ribandar, about 5 kms from Panaji, on the road to Old Goa. Most of the western half of this island, is today a reserved area as the Dr Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary. It is full of dense mangrove swamps and the best way to navigate is by a canoe. The Sanctuary is home to a variety of birds, animals and quite a few muggers - the Goan crocodiles. Another unusual inhabitant is the mudskipper - a mid-sized bulbous headed fish which actually skips through the mud at low tide. The Chorao village on the island is a small collection of mud and thatch houses and some exquisite Portuguese villas. There is also a small village Church. The road through this picturesque village finally leads to the crossing on the other side of the island which takes you to the famous Saptakoteshwar Temple at Narwe on the mainland in Bicholim taluka. If you do visit the temple on the mainland, then on the return trip you can take the ferry ride which takes you to Divar island. Divar Island The island of Divar can be reached by a ferry ride on both sides: the ferry on the north side of the island is at Old Goa about 7 kms from Panaji and the ferry on the south side is from Narwe.

EVOLUTION OF OLD GOA mark in physical structures as well as political condition, economic and social institutions. The city passed through a number of transformations. Urban transformation is often considered as a ‘modern’ feature of the city. The city can be described as a physical representation of civilisation. Spaces changes their importance and meaning within city structure. It is a kind of natural process where spaces are transformed in response to new necessities. The important phase in this evolution is the stage of decline. Spaces become useless losing their utility and meaning and as a consequence the importance within the city. These spaces may be adapted to new needs. Key Words:- Urban transformation, adaptation, Space 1. INTRODUCTION Transformation is a way of life.

  • The Portuguese and Jesuits in Goa and Salcete
    Please provide footnote text The Portuguese and Jesuits in Goa and Salcete In late 1510, after almost a year of intermittent fighting, the island city and har- bor of Goa on the west coast of India was finally wrested from the control of the rulers of Bijapur by the Portuguese adventurer Afonso de Albuquerque (1453–1515). The port and the four landlocked islands of Chorāo, Divar, Jua, and Tiswadi in the estuary of the Mandovi River became the administra- tive and commercial center of Portuguese affairs throughout the East, while at the same time the Portuguese gradually extended their influence into the neighboring hinterland (see map 1).1 Although some Dominican friars arrived in 1510, no large missionary enterprise was undertaken before the arrival of the Franciscans in 1517. From their headquarters in Goa, Franciscan preach- ers visited many parts of western India and journeyed as far as Sri Lanka and the Malay Archipelago. Such was their success that in 1534 Pope Paul III Farnese (r.1534–49) made Goa a bishopric, with spiritual jurisdiction over all Portuguese possessions from the Cape of Good Hope across South and East Asia to China, though itself suffragan to the archbishopric of Funchal in Madeira. When Francis Xavier (1506–52) landed at Goa on May 6, 1542, he took over the Franciscan college of Santa Fé for the training of native missionaries; this was re-named the College of Saint Paul and became the headquarters of all Jesuit missions in the East. It was from here that the Jesuits expanded fur- ther along the Indian coast.
