 |

includes a visit to the Prince of Wales Museum (remains closed on Mondays),
built to commemorate King George's V visit to India was opened in 1923.
It is modeled on the Indo - Saracenic design, and has sections for art and paintings,
archaeology, and natural history.
|
|
Also visit the Gateway of India, the principal landmark of Mumbai,
was the principal port when the visitors came to India by ship.
The gateway was conceived, following the visit of King George V
to India in 1911, and was officially opened in 1924. Its architecture
is akin to the conventional Arch of Triumph, with elements derived
from Muslim styles of 16th century Gujarat.
|
 |
 |
A major landmark of this vibrant city is the VT or Victoria Terminus,
which was designed in Italian Gothic style by F. W. Stevens.The first
train to steam out of Mumbai was from here to Thane in 1853. Drive up to
Malabar Hill to the lovely Hanging Gardens and the Kamla Nehru Park from
where you will get a wonderful view of Mumbai and the Arabian Sea spread
out before you. Stop at Mani Bhawan,
a small museum dedicated to the life and works of Mahatma Gandhi and the bustling Crawford Market.

old churches in lush, |
 |
|
tropical grounds. Stop off at a few of the Christian churches:
The Chapel of St. Catherine, Bom Jesus Basilica and the Convent and Church of Santa
Monica before returning to your hotel for a

| Day 03 Goa |
 |
After breakfast visit of Old Goa : Half a dozen imposing churches and cathedrals and a
fragment of a gateway are all that remain of the second capital of the Adil Shahi dynasty
of Bijapur and the Portuguese capital that was once said to rival Lisbon in magnificence.
Wracked by cholera and malaria epidemics, eroded by monsoon rains and choked by creepers,
Old Goa has declined from a vibrant city of over a hundred thousand souls to little more t
han a handful of potent architectural relics.
|
| |
|
Old Goa is still the spiritual heart of Christian Goa,
and its most famous building is the Basilica of Bom Jesus, which contains the tomb and mortal remains
of the peripatetic St Francis Xavier, credited with introducing Christianity to much of South-East Asia.
Also of interest is the Convent & Church of St Francis of Assisi, which has gilded and carved woodwork,
murals depicting scenes from the saint's life, and a floor substantially made of carved gravestones.
The largest of the churches is the Portuguese-Gothic Se |
 |
|
Cathedral, dating from 1562, which houses the so-called 'Golden Bell',
whose resonant peal can be heard thrice daily. Other gems include the
Church of St Cajetan which was modelled on St Peter's in Rome and the
Royal Chapel of St Anthony. Not a single secular building remains standing,
so don't say God doesn't work in mysterious ways.
Rest of the day relax on the beach.
