The Crown of Panjim - A famous tourist attraction in the heart of Goa with splendid Portuguese Baroque style architectural elements !!

Our lady of the immaculate conception church

Location: Panjim, Goa, India

Some interesting facts ....

First built in 1541 as a chapel on a hill side overlooking the city of Panjim, it was eventually replaced by a larger church in the 1600s as part of Portuguese Goa's religious expansion.

This church houses the ancient bell that was removed from the Augustinian ruins of the Church of Our Lady of Grace in the once famed city of Old Goa.

This bell is considered to be the second largest of its kind in Goa, surpassed only by the Golden Bell which resides in the Sé Cathedral in Old Goa.

It can be seen from a great distance and is often known as the ‘crown’ of Panjim.

The exterior facade of the church, rich with Portuguese Baroque style architectural elements is painted a bright white.

The main altar, which has an elegant decor, is dedicated to Mother Mary.

This architectural wonder is a must visit if you happen to be in the city....

The beautiful Pagoda at Dhamma Giri in Igatpuri, Maharashtra

Dhamma Giri which means "Hill of Dhamma" is among the world's largest Vipassana meditation centres.

This beautiful meditation centre is located in the serene and quaint hill station of Igatpuri that lies between Mumbai and Nashik.

The centre offered its first course in 1976 and since then tens of thousands of students visit the centre each year to achieve inner peace....

The image is of the Pagoda located in the premises of the centre....its design is based on Myanmar style of architecture....as the founder S.N. Goenka learnt the technique of Vipassana from Sayagyi U Ba Khin (a leading authority and influential leader of the Vipassana movement)....

The Pagoda has about 370 cells for individual meditation (each petal shaped structure that you see at the base of the pagoda represents a single meditation cell of 6x3 feet dimension)....

There are separate sections for men and women within the Pagoda....and the individuals sit on the asanas provided for mediation within these individual cells....

A visit to the centre definitely helps you to achieve a peaceful and calmer state of mind....
