The presence of many churches and temples greatly contributes to the Living Cultures in Goa. Both the Hindu and Christian communities participate in the various festivities that occur in the state of Goa, all through 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 quite evident from Goan music, dance, drama and theater, painting, fairs and festivities, handicrafts, architecture and sculpture, and culinary culture. Music of Goa is as vibrant and buoyant as the people of Goa are.
