Goa At Glance

Goa History - Culture

Traditions & Life Style

Surely no body who ever visited Goa, will try and dare to put an acclamatory mark on the statement that "who ever added Dream Destination in the tourism vocabulary, positively have done this, only after visiting Beach Paradise Goa".

This tiny Indian state is such scenic, picturesque, enrich with numerous aqua terrestrial attractions and highly richer with tourism infra structure that no other destination will dare to challenge the royal status held by Goa on world tourism map. Most appropriate time for looking at the real and unique customs and traditions of the Goa, is while the natives are engaged with celebrations of community festivals like Shigmo and Chowrang etc. significant display of these festivals is the unique and specific blend of Music and Dance reflecting traditions and customs. Native Kubins comes out dresses up in white dhoti with ghonghroos tied at ankle, white flowers in the hairs and Garlands kissing the neck.

What the general assumption is about the life style of Goa is that here life means hanging out at sea shore, laying under the singing and Swaying coconut tree with a wine or bear glass is the hand is not the real picture of life at Goa. The important difference is native of Goa are a bit more well familiar with and masters in the art of enjoying the life.

Being under the Portuguese colonization for some centuries life style of Goans appears a bit difference from the rest of India, as here one will find a higher importance to late night parties, parties of long duration, dance and music when compared with rest of India. Konkani language used by most of native is most significant evidence for the cultural heritage in the practice here as Konkani is very close to Marathi language and have Devnagiri script, used by most of Indian languages, with many Portuguese words and accent which resemble more with Portuguese.

Tribal or native Goans holds a specific life style a bit different from the recent inhabitants of this land where ample opportunities are available for the sea to kiss the land. Gowdas, [Hindus with unspecified hierarchical order], Kubins, [Short structured, hardworking community with faith in simplicity and ancient life style] Velips [historically belongs to stone age and believed to be one of the sub-castes of the Kunbis ] and Dhangars [the shepherds community with a semi-nomadic lifestyle] compromises the tribal world of Goa. Dance, Music, exotic flavored cuisines and Feni [wine extracted from Cashew nut] are the integral part of life style of Goans.
