Panaji
means “Land that never floods”. Panaji is the capital
city of Goa and headquarters of North Goa District,
a small and charming city on the left bank of silvery Mandovi river,
with beautiful, red-roofed houses, built in Latin style, also boasts
of many modern houses, well laid gardens, statues and avenues lined
with Gulmohar, Acassia and other trees. The church on the main square
in Panaji, the Baroque architecture, pretty villas,
cobbled streets and interesting buildings give Panaji
a distinctly Portuguese ambience. The city lies along the left bank
of the Mandovi River - piled up against terraced hills, a jumble of
concrete buildings with whimsical balconies and red-tiled roofs, bleached
clean churches and a riverside promenade that is just right for an
evening stroll.
