Anand Photo Workshop

Welcome to Anand Photo Workshop (...my Passion), a site about everything photography has thought me. The goal of this website is to provide you with access to some of the best pictures which I have tried my skills on and down the line you will love it. Being able to "pick the brain" of a Professional Photographer can be an invaluable tool.I just want to shoot the breeze and get to know the people on the board, there's always the Digital Sofa, our general, off-topic freeforall. :)

Dona Paula, Panjim, Goa

Dona Paula is a tourist destination, in the suburbs of Panaji, Goa, India. Named after Dona Paula de Menezes, the daughter of a viceroy (in Portuguese India), who threw herself off the cliff, when refused permission to marry a local fisherman, Gaspar Dias.

Dona Paula Beach is informally also referred to as Lovers Paradise.

The Dona Paula Beach is also a major tourist attraction due to a myth attached to the place. According to this, Dona Paula is entombed in the Cabo Chapel, the residence of the Governor of Goa and is supposed to be seen emerging from the moonlit waves wearing only a pearl necklace. Several tourists as well as locals guided by this myth visit the beach for a glimpse of Dona Paula.
