A
small tropical paradise, wedged between the Arabian sea and
the Satvashanas, the Kadambas, the Rashtrakutas, the Chalukays,
Silahars and the Yadavas. After the discovery of the sea route
to India by Vasco-da-Gama in 1498, many Portuguese
expenditions came to India. The Portuguese rule of 451 years,
even after the Indian independence, finally came to an end on
December 9th , 1961. The state is famous for its
sea-food, cashew and locally brewed Feni (wine) and for its
song and Dance and merriment, and above all for its peace and
serene atmosphere.
