Basilica Bom jesus church

Goa, one of the most desired tourist destination spot where people from all over India and abroad, come to visit this place. The architecture has been greatly influenced by the Portuguese has it can be seen in their buildings and monuments. Goa is famous for it's cashew nuts, wine and sweet dish bebinca. Goa is really famous for it's low cost drinks and the most poplular drink for the locals in Goa is feni. My guide always consumed it and trust me it smells horrible. The most authentic food is fish curry and rice which every person should try. The beaches of Goa are fun, serene and  bliss. The Baga beach is one of the most happening beach. You can shop and pamper yourselves in Goa. You can visit the Panjim city which is the hub for all the markets. At Old Goa you find many handicrafts items. The best time to visit Goa is between November and March. Avoid visiting Goa during rainy season as you will miss all the beach parties and fun. The electronic dance music festival "Sunburn" happens here at Goa. I really had a really good time at Goa and I look forward to spend Christmas week in Goa. New year and Christmas would be fun here. 

The Basilica of Bom Jesus is one of the most important and popular church where people from all over the country visit. This church is considered even more sacred and important because it has the remain mortals of St Saint Francis Xavier. I saw the casket in which it's been kept. The body is kept at a good height and you cannot obviously get clear snapshots of it when you click from your camera as you get to see the body via screen. The church is very huge and the greenery surrounding the church looks pleasing.The crowd control is pretty decent here and the experience is just bliss. It's a moment of bliss. This is located in Old Goa. Just opposite to this place, the Royal Chapel of Saint Antony is situated which has beautiful white walls and architecture.

Chapora beach is one of the most beautiful beach in Goa. The green mountains, the golden sand and the cold water is mesmerising. It's a good place to have fun from your busy mundane life. The hut restaurants are something which is admired by all. You can jump, swim, play, do whatever you want in the water.

Baga beach is one of the most happening and lively beach in Goa. It is situated in North Goa. It's one place where you can actually have fun which has no end. People come here, eat, drink, walk or just play in water. Many visitors buy souvenirs from the beach side shops. It looks beautiful during night time. If you like water sports activities, you can try the parasailing, banana rides and dolphin cruises which are just very exciting. Baga beach is very catchy and cool.

Shantadurga temple is the most visited temple in Goa which is dedicated to Goddess Shanta durga. As the name suggests, Shanta means peace and hence she is considered as the Goddess of peace. The temple is located in North Goa. When I had visited this place, many families had come to visit the temple and seek the blessing of goddess Durga.
