Goa is no more restricted to beaches and the mind-boggling landscapes; it has much more in terms of food, hotels, motels, etc. The city has a long history enamored with rich culture and society. Goa became a Union Territory after getting liberated by the Indian army from Portuguese colonization in the year 1961. Goa, as a melting pot of religions, races and cultures of East and West over the centuries with a different and multi-hued lifestyle is much different from the rest of India. Hindu and Catholic communities form the majority over there. A secular outlook prevails in Goa, which makes it a peace-loving state of India. The tolerant nature of the people and an environment of celebration of festivals and rites like Eid, Diwali, Christmas, etc. are something people in general seek for.
