Goa Pearl Of The East

Goa's fascination and charm arises partly from its sheer natural beauty and partly from its distinct Indo-Iberian culture. Goa's best known contemporary writer attempts to capture the essence of this amalgam of cultures in a laconic style, peppered with a distinctively Goan sense of humour. A memorable account of the essentially Portuguese connection of the state and the history of some of its important monuments and feast days, with lavish pictures and centrespreads by Amit Pasricha.
