Description
A part of Classic India series, this book is a collector's item and a visual delight.
Goa is Indian in as many ways as it is not. The cultural osmosis that occurred through its tryst with Portugal has given it a unique character of its own. Seen here are images that give it its paradisiacal quality - sun-kissed beaches, fabulous churches, idyllic fishing villages, colorful markets and its people with their gentle, unhurried pace of life.
The Classic India series portrays the panorama of India's cultural heritage. For centuries India was perceived as the land of fabulous riches, of wisdom, of mystique and romance. It is this magic that the series captures. It provides a window to one of the world's most ancient civilizations - anachronistic at times but most often vibrant and alive today.
