Goa

Panaji or Panjim has more than just its name to thank the Portuguese for. The easy going lifestyle, baroque style buildings, the unexpected little alcoves, quaint cafes and breathtaking views along the river front are all testimony of the European influence on this capital city.

The city offers a motley of experiences– from its rich history and culture for the quintessential traveler, heritage homes turned into boutique inns and ancient markets to the relaxed visitors and the streets, beaches and the luxurious beach resorts for the more contemporary tourists. This unique town is as diverse in music and entertainment as in the delightful seafood it offers.

Males constitute 52% of the population of Panjim and females 48%, with the literacy rate being 94.6% and 86.9% respectively. Approximately 9.6% of the population is under 7 years of age, according to the 2011 census of India.
