Margao (pronounced [mɔɽɡãːw]) is the second largest town by population, and the commercial and cultural capital of the Indian state of Goa. It is the administrative headquarters of Salcete taluka and South Goa district. By road, Margao is located approximately 33 kilometres (21 mi) from the capital Panaji, and 27 kilometres (17 mi) from Vasco da Gama.
Margão is the Portuguese spelling with Modgão being used in Konkani. It is known as Madgaon in Marathi. It is derived from the Sanskrit Maṭhagrām which means a village with a matha.
Margao in pre-Portuguese times was one of the important settlements in Salcete and known as Matha Grama (the village of Mathas) as it was a temple town with nine Mathas in temple schools. Its replacement in 1579 was destroyed by raiders along with the seminary that had been built alongside it. The present church was built in 1675.
The initial settlement of Margao grew from the site of the ancient Damodar Temple. The original temple was demolished and the temple tank was filled up to be replaced by the Holy Spirit church and church grounds. The deity Damodar (a form of Lord Shiva) was carried across the Zuari Agranashini river to the Novas Conquistas in which the Sonde rulers resided. While the western side of the Church developed as a market place, the settlement grew on the eastern side, that is, the Borda region, with the church at its core and extended outwards.
15th August 2013 Deric drove us to the bus station, where we got a shuttle bus direct to Margao (Madgaon), and then a local bus into town. We stayed at Hotel La Flor, which was better than we expected. Only 900 Rps for a clean comfortable fan room at the back so we didn't get the noise from the railway line. After settling in we took a bus to Colva Beach, as Deric had suggested. It was a pleasant ride and a lovely beach, with lots of locals enjoying themselves and a few Western tourists. We bought a Goan chicken Shawarma from one of two little stalls and it was so delicious that we tried one from the other stall as well. Quite different, but the first one was more to our liking as it came with cooked tomatoes and onion and seemed a bit spicier. We had a seafood dinner at one of the beach...

Goa is a state in western India with coastlines stretching along the Arabian Sea. Its long history as a Portuguese colony prior to 1961 is evident in its preserved 17th-century churches and the area’s tropical spice plantations. Goa is also known for its beaches, ranging from popular stretches at Baga and Palolem to those in laid-back fishing villages such as Agonda. goa tourism places to visit in goa goa tourism packages goa tourism places goa tourism official site goa tourism hotels goa tourism season goa tourism guide goa tourism map Goa tourist spots goa tourist spots pictures goa tourist spots list goa tourist guide goa tourist spots pdf goa tourism chapora beach goa tourist spots map goa tourist spots to visit goa tourist places goa tourist places with photos goa tourist places li...

Chorus: (2x)
Shiva god
Deepest love
Sweetest life I live
Destroy in my mind
Belive in my soul
What you will find
Will turn into gold
I want you to dance
My time won't run out
I will take a bow
I'm not gone around
Chorus (4x)
Don't bury my dream
And spell my belief
Don't waste bitter tears
Past will dsappear
I want you to dance
Make a room for the new
I will take a bow
Past will disappear
Chorus (4x)
My pain cuts so deep
Believe in my soul
What you will find
Will turn into gold
