The religious sentiments of the people of Goa is a sharp contrast to the epicurean spirit that rules the beaches of Goa. Goa Living Cultures form the core of the identity of the people of Goa. The presence of many churches and temples highly contributes to the Living Cultures in Goa. Both Hindus and Christians participate in the various festivities that take place in the state of Goa, all round the year. The people of Goa are extremely fun loving and jovial. Most Goans enjoy an afternoon nap, known as “Siesta”. The fun loving spirit of the people of Goa might remind one of the famous lines of Tennyson's poem, “Ulysses”: “Drink life to the lees”. Living Cultures in Goa are evident from Goan music, dance, drama and theater, painting, fairs and festivities, handicrafts, architecture and sculpture, and culinary culture.
