The richly varied culture and tradition of the state of Goa evidently owes their existence to the Portuguese who were one of the first settlers in the state of Goa. Goa acted as the fulcrum of the Portuguese conglomerate in the continent of Asia. The Portuguese were renowned as fascinating constructors of churches and their prime motivation for building churches was their wish to propagate their religion and faith and be instrumental in spreading it. This definitely made contemporary Goa a amazing blend of Portuguese and traditional Indian culture. The people of the state of Goa, being very religious, strictly abides by their beliefs and customs. The religious sentiments of the people of Goa is a sharp contrast to the epicurean spirit that rules the beaches of Goa.
