Carvings in Goa

When it comes to Goa, only two things come to the mind -

its magnificent Beaches......

 and Churches

and yes its Cuisine ......

and Carnival....

I feel myself lucky to visit more reclusive sites of Goa.......

These are carvings found in South Goa,

I am forgeting the name of place and district...

I visited this place in the month of February 2009

We were told to pour water on these carvings

to get the actual shape of the creatures

or murals carved on the sides of the river....

Some of these were dears, peacocks, or a hunter.....

What this figure actually depicts, we do not know...

these carvings are lying scattered on the ...

side of the calm and quite water of river..

Most of the times, these are covered with water

as the level of the adjacent.....

water body raises its leves, specially during the rains....

This I suppose a dear or a goat....

This was a wild guess of our team that it might be a bull...

with the pouring of water these carvings come to life....

Unfortunately no material was found on these carvings. 

I wonder that how and why these are still unknown. 

Even one of my friends who stayed in Goa for so many years,

does not have the idea about these carvings...

we wanted desparately to know

 who created them and

 when these were carved. 

If we look at the creatures,

it reminds one of the pictures seen in

history books in seventh or eighth standard. 

The creatures shown in these carvings

are somewhat similar to them.

Small material was found in Marathi only.

  It is good that somebody is working on it. 

I will try to get that.

This wast country called Bharat--

 how many things are there which are yet to be explored,

stories to be told......do not know.
