"Whoever has been in Goa may say that he has seen the choicest rarities of India, for it is the most famous and celebrated city&hellip", so declared Francois Pyrard, a 17th-century French traveller to the sunshine state. Goa has always been synonymous with susegad, or contentment and relaxation, and has also been distinguished as city with perhaps the most celebration and revelry. The emerald state, which is the 25th state of the Union of India, shares its borders with Maharashtra and Karnataka, while its west is the expanse of the Arabian Sea.
