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.

 

We have also included recently Ecommerce platform Gift & Souvenir  mostly dealing in Musical instruments aligning with our sites increased focus on Songs, music and devotionals. But our gratitude goes out to our viewers and well wishers who have provided the much need encouragement and motivation to carry ahead...
