Dona Paula
 East of Miramar lie leafy suburbs, residential areas, palm groves
and paddy fields that wind up close to Dona Paula Bay. The bay
separates and unites the estuaries of the Rivers Mandoyi and
Zuari as they merge Arabian Sea. Two small rock encrusted
beaches curl around the cove, these can be accessed from the
esplanade at Dona Paula. Catering primarily to tourists, the
promenade is packed with hotels, cafes and shops and stalls that
sell trinkets, bags, clothes and film rolls! It is also the one place in
Panaji to offer facilities for water sport - water scooters, pedal
boats and sailboats. Contact: Dolphin Adventure Sports or Dona
Paula Water Sports Association at Dona Paula.
Dona Paula
Love's Labour Lost:
Love's Labour Lost:
 The bay is named after Dona Paula de Menezes, the lovesick daughter of
the Protuguese Viceroy. A statue of Dona Paula stands gazing out to sea
from arc: a rocky escarpment overlooking the bay Local legend tells us
that the poor girl fell in love with an officer on the ship bringing her to Goa_
When the lovers were refused permission to marry and the officer sent
back to Portugal, Dona Paula would climb up here to wait for the ship she
believed would bring her beloved back. The poor unfortunate soul never
came because dad had had him bumped off. When Dona Paula
discovered her father's perfidy, she threw herself of these very rocks.
Mahalakshmi
Mahalakshmi
 Hindu Panaji's presiding dell) is the Goddess Mahalakshmi. She
watches over the city from her temple abode at the foot of Altinho. The
shrine houses a four armed, black stone idol of Lakshmi, the Goddess of
Wealth.
 The temple was constructed in 1817 mostly from funds generated from
devotees whose faith in the goddess, one presumes, had paid off! The
annual Maruti-Zatra (festival) is held at the temple every January. Muslims
were persona non grata in the early years of Portuguese rule, partly
because of Christianity vs Islam baggage and partly due to Portugal's
battles with the Arabs. The persecution of Goa's Muslims lasted through
the Inquisition. It was only long after the Inquisition that Muslims felt safe
enough to build mosques. Panaji's Jama Masjid is one of the few mosques
in coastal Goa and it too was built after the Inquisition.
Municipal Garden
Municipal Garden
 Jardim de Garcia da Orta', the garden planted by Dr Garcia de
Orta is now Goa's Municipal Garden. Dr de Orta was a noted
physician in 16th Century Goa who spent his leisure hours
cataloguing and studying indigenous plants and herbs used by
Yunani hakims and Hindu vaids. The good doctor was
convinced that local physicians were best equipped and more
qualified than European doctors to treat tropical ailments. His
magnum opus, a comparative study of European and Indian
medicine was published in 1563 in Goa.
Museum of Goa, Daman & Diu
Museum of Goa, Daman & Diu
 Panaji has just one museum of note, the Museum of Goa,
Daman and Diu, which includes artifacts and archives from the
other two Portuguese territories in India. The Museum's
archaeological and archival material is acknowledged to be the
best of its kind (in India) in the context of Portuguese rule in Goa.
Sculpture, furniture, coins, textiles, objects d'art, ivory statues etc
reflect the overpowering Christian influence on Portuguese art and
crafts. The sculpture collection includes antiquities from Goa's
Hindu era.
