 Goa
is a land of crafts and craftsmen, where aesthetic quality finds a natural
expression. Goa has a rich and magnificent tradition of the classical
arts. Over the years, Goans have excelled in poetry, music and the fine
arts.
The extensive excavations and preservation efforts carried out by the
Archaeological Survey of India have brought to the fore and restored remnants
of ages in the form of ancient sites such as caves, epigraphs, sculptures,
religious places like temples, churches, mosques, ancient forts, etc.
Besides, a marvelous domestic architecture presented in centuries-old
houses of the aristocrats occupies a prominent place in the itinerary
of the lovers of architecture.
 Caves
Numerous caves have been discovered throughout Goa, indicating the
presence of human settlements. The discovery of rock carvings at Pansaimal
and Kazur, points to the possibility of the early man being an inhabitant
here. All these caves are carved in laterite. In the above list, only
4 to 5 caves might have been carved for residential purpose and the rest
are for religious or for other purposes. There are also some natural caves
existing in Goa. Among them, the biggest is the cave found at Verna, and
is large enough to accommodate more than 1200 people at a time. The Buddhist
caves at Rivona is also a natural cave complex. The "Pitha"
carved in laterite in the cave might have been used as a seat for the
teacher. Sculptures
The pre-historic dwellers of Goa created some beautiful carvings on
rocks. The most famous ones include the figure of Mother Goddess
carved in bold relief on an outcrop of laterite at Curdi in Sanguem taluka,
and rock carvings at Usgalimal and Kazur. These should have
been open prayer places without any shelters.
