Wednesday, July 1, 2009 14:39 No Comments

Panjim or Panaji, the capital of Goa is a beautiful city on the banks of river Mandovi. The city is covered with laid back avenues, lined with beautiful trees; old Portuguese styled red-roofed houses, and well landscaped gardens. The city was named Panjim by the Portuguese, who had ruled Goa and the name means a land that does not flood. The city is now locally known as Panaji.
