About Us::
We are a cultural site accentuating the vibrant and bewitching culture of Goa. in songs, devotionals, music, dances, wedding and even cuisine.
We have recently added an Ecommerce platform, Giftzz & Souvenirs, which initially listed souvenirs, gifts and handicraft items on sale but since then we have
aligned with our site focus and we now primarily list musical instruments, trendy items or collectible items.
​
As you're well aware, Goa is a resort state in India, with an interesting and fascinating history. Through its long arc of history it has been under influence and control of various powers, principalities, empires and from 1510 under European power and this led to an amalgam of culture, songs, music and dances.
It reflects in its architecture of its Churches, temples, homes, villas and cottages which permeates tranquil exotic ambience to the place which in turn has attracted millions of tourists both foreign and domestic.
​
This rich historic tapestry of ebb and flow sought to mold this amalgam into uniqueness of identity keeping its deep seated roots intertwined with various races and culture which swept on its shores and ports through its long coast line hugging the Arabian Sea adorned with numerous exotic beaches and its hinterland, a cascade of mountain range, The Sahyadri, with a gift of necklace of waterfall for Goa, The Dudhsagar.
The Innate pioneering spirit of its people were never to be enslaved by the past or shackled by its traditions but free to evolve and experiment and form a new tapestry its own, more harmonious and endearing than before which we at Goan Beacon would like to share with you-- its unique culture and its diadem of manifestation in songs, dances and its ever evolving customs, traditions, architecture and culinary delights.

This site GoanBeacon was launched on Jan14th 2019 just prior to Covid Epidemic struck but remained low key and almost dormant till Dec 2022 with few occasional post and also saddled with technical issues. But with the fading off Epidemic and from Jan 2023, our focus, intensity and involvement increased which resulted in exponential growth in traffic which has surpassed 15 k/monthly views.
