Ghoomophiro will speak about their experiences in Assagoa this morning. Assagoa is also known as "Fullyanchem Gon," or the flower town in North Goa, as well as many other nicknames such as "Little Delhi," "Goa's South Extension," The Artist's Village, "The Beverly Hills of Goa," and "Goa's Tuscany". Assagoa is a neighbourhood in Bardez, Goa. It is roughly 4 kilometers west of Mapusa. Like the rest of the state, the settlement known as the bloom of North Goa was dominated by the Portuguese, and there is no indication of the primary cultures that lived there. According to legend, this settlement got its name from a prince who got lost in the Assagao mountains on a dark evening. The sound of a bird calling out the time of day was heard. Assa Re ganv, the prince, sighed joyfully, relieved, pleased, and free of tension. The first known residents of Assagao were Saraswat Brahmins from the Atri gotra, along with various Hindus who worshipped Ravalnath as their patron god. There were plenty of temples around at the time. Despite the fact that it survived Portuguese authority, no one remains now.
Taxi from Goa Airport to Assagao is readily available at CabBazar.
