Ну а что вы скажете насчет храмов и мечетей Гоа?
Кто-то из бывалых индостанцев там побывал?
Какие впечатления?
TEMPLES & MOSQUES:
During the early years of the Portugese occupation of Goa, a policy of compulsory conversion to catholicism was followed and most of the temples and mosques were destroyed. Certain areas, such as Ponda Taluka, which didnt come under Portugese control until much later, were spared and many of their old temples are still standing. The following are a few of the more important temples of Goa:
The Shri Mangeshi Temple: situated near Mardol on the road from Panaji to Ponda. This is probably the best known temple in the state, and is included in all the major tours (see picture on left).
About 1km south is the Shri Mahalsa Temple and further south near Velinga, The Shri Laxmi Temple. To the west of Ponda , near the villages of Bandora and Queula are the temples of Shri Nagesh, Shri Ramnath, Shri Mahalaxmi and Shri Shantadurga. 10km north of Ponda at Savoi-Verem, not far from the Mandovi, is the Anant Devasthan Temple. A further 8km leads to The Ganesh Temple, near Candola. East of Ponda, on the main road to Bangalore, is The Kudamba Temple.
Just outside Ponda, on the north east side is The Safa Shahouri Mosque. Today there are only two remaining ancient mosques in Goa. The other is the recently renovated Namazgah Mosque near Bicholim....
Звучит интересно, хотелось бы посмотреть и на обьекты местной культуры тоже.
Маленький оффтопный побочный вопрос - может кто знает, сколько примерно займет поездка на байке (ну ок, на скутере) из Арамболя до Понды?
