Namazgah — Attraction in Goa

Firstly I was very sad to see the road which goes towards the wonderful place... I don't know why educated people act like dumb... Just took a turn from main road and tone of garbage was thrown to welcome the visitors.. secondly was again disappointed to see how such a historical place is kept without maintenance... It's a great sign of history.. and first time I was shock to see how the Muslim brother and sister are not taking care of this place.. my third point goes to people who go on top to celebrate Birthday or anniversary... Whom are you keeping the candles, cake boxes for after celebrating.. 4th point to road side lover to write their name on such beautiful historical wall...

I recommend people to visit... To see the historical beauty... But don't destroy it with your garbage... Take the garbage along with you the same way you take the pictures you have captured in...

So Sambhaji donated land to Akbar to build this masjid called Namazgah in 1683 for him to offer namaz (prayer) every day. It is a Protected area and is not to be polluted with trash. Vehicles will take you to the foot and the hill, from where one needs to walk and climb the broken stairs to the destination of the Namazgah. It is truly a...
