  • Old Goa — Walking Through an Abandoned Capital
    Dec 26 2025

    Explore Old Goa as a walking landscape of memory, once the capital of Portuguese India and now a vast, contemplative ruin where history feels more present because it is unfinished. Through its monumental churches, open grounds, and fragments like the St. Augustine Tower, Old Goa reveals how faith, power, trade, and disease shaped a city that rose quickly and faded just as dramatically. Rather than treating these sites as isolated monuments, the narrative follows them as part of a lived urban fabric—best understood slowly, on foot, and with context.

  • Tracing Goa's sacred timeline at Tamdi Surla
    Dec 16 2025

    Most visitors meet Goa at the shoreline. But Goa’s oldest conversations are happening far from the sea—inside forests, beside rivers, and within temple courtyards where time moves at a very different speed. To understand Goa beyond its colonial chapter, you need to begin where stone, belief, and landscape first aligned. That journey starts at Tambdi Surla and unfolds through Mangeshi and Saptakoteshwar, three temples that quietly map Goa’s sacred evolution over nearly a thousand years
