Farms

Agritourism or agrotourism, as it is defined most broadly, involves any agriculturally based operation or activity that brings visitors to a farm or ranch. Agritourism has different definitions in different parts of the world, and sometimes refers specifically to farm stays, as in Italy. Elsewhere, agritourism includes a wide variety of activities, including buying produce direct from a farm stand, navigating a corn maze, slopping hogs, picking fruit, feeding animals, or staying at a bed and breakfast (B&B) on a farm.

Dams

A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water for activities such as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability. Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions.

Temples

Long before the Portuguese came in, the region was under the rule of Konkani tribal kings who bowed down in front of the Maratha Empire. The rulers were mainly Hindus, who built several temples. Though at the time of foreign invasion a majority of them were destroyed, still some magnificent ones like Shri Saptakoteshwar temple, Maruti temple, Shri Damodar temple, Shri Mahadeva temple, Mahalaxmi temple and Sri Mahalsa temple have successfully etched their name as prominent places of worship for the Hindus. These spectacular temples follow the Kadamba style of architecture, which appears like bungalows at first glance. So, the next time you're in Goa, take some time out to explore these splendid temples.
