English: Goa (गोआ) is India's smallest state in terms of area and the second smallest in terms of population. Goa is internationally renowned for its fabled tropical beaches and world heritage architecture. A former colony of Portugal, parts of it were ruled by the Portuguese for about 450 years, from 1510 until 1961.

हिन्दी: गोआ क्षेत्रफल के हिसाब से भारत का सबसे छोटा और जनसँख्या के हिसाब से दूसरा सबसे छोटा प्रान्तहै. पूरी दुनिया में गोवा अपने खूबसूरत समुंदर के किनारों और मशहूर स्थापत्य के लिये जाना जाता है. गोवा पहले पुर्तगाल का एक उपनिवेश था.
