I have visited gowa 4 years back.i was there for actually attending my spiritual seminar at Gowa. I was 1st time in Goa.I spend 10 days there. My frind shri Kamath has arranged a best room for me. cost was 1200 Rs per day.In Gowa room rent is from 1000 to 5000 Rs .I had visited the Casino there in big boat. Rich people think that , Gowa trip is not complete without casino.But I think ot is a wastage of money.I had visited Mandesh mandir near Gowa.It is the famouse mandir which had built of Gankokila Lata Mangeshkar and family.The churches at Gowa are huge and old.It indicates the culture of Gowa.But My friend Kamayh told me that tjere are two cultures at Gowa.1st is western culture and 2nd is indian spiritual culture. I had experienced that in Gowa every indian man who is really indian , they are preserving india culture.They are arranging spiritual bhajans, music, dramas, arti, seminars and kathas.All the Indians are united tjere and attendong all cultural programs without fail.All the sea shores beaches are full of verious stalls and foreiners.the are eating, dancing and wandering everywhere.Overall Gowa is for enjoyment for trip.enjoy it.
