I reached the site of Usgalimal Rock Carvings 35 km from Majestic Beach Comforts , Varca at 1445 on 22nd Feb . There was no entrance fee . Ramakant , a caretaker was there . He took an empty bottle and ushered me into an unknown world . He filled the bottle with the water from Kushavati river and poured on the outlines of various carved figures to bring 150 petroglyphs , carved by humans around 8,000 to 10,000 years ago , to the life one by one . The rock face was covered with carvings and renderings of different animals and birds including bulls , deer , dogs , elephants , horses and peacocks . A peacock was so cleverly illustrated to optimize the most uneven surface of the rock. There was a wonderful ‘ x-ray bull ’ sequence , where the internal bone structure of a bull were carved into the rock face. The animals interact with each other and with the humans . There is a hunting scene where a large spear is shown to be pierced into a bull . The barbed harpoons and spear alongside the animals indicated that those who indulged in this art were hunter-gatherers of prehistoric period. There were human figures too – arguably the most interesting being a woman and a child connected with an umbilical cord . Another interesting figure was of a female dancer extending her hands in ecstasy . This action and pose explained the lot of intelligence shown by the carver . Symbolic cross indicating its use for knowing directions and several holes symbolising fertility cult indicating vulvae in the mother earth were visible . The engraving of Triskelion with 3 heads resembling serpent hoods at the centre having seven concentric circles and a diameter of two m. was perhaps the unique symbol found in India . Most probably the engravings were carried out by specially prepared sharp pointed hard ferruginous stone tools .

Traveling to GOA in itself is already wonderful, adding a trip to a local jeweler will turn it into an unforgettable experience. Manzoor created a stunning ring for me from topaz together with diamond and saffire. It reminds me of the sun and blue skies of GOA every time!

I highly recommend the Din Brothers for excellent customer service and high quality diamond jewellery. My partner proposed at the Taj Mahal so we visited the shop to look at engagement rings. Zubair and his brother were extremely helpful and made me an engagement ring exactly as described. We were so pleased we ended up purchasing a wedding ring to match! Since we returned home both rings have been valued almost twice what we paid in India. Very pleased indeed.

I loved the Kashmir Wood craft work this emporium offers. From a couple of hundred Indian Rupees to a couple of hundred thousand Rupees, everything is available. Such beautiful handicraft chairs, Tea tables, dining tables and side tables. I bought 6 dining chairs, 2 rest chairs, 2 tea tables, and also ordered dining tables, side table and the GRAND king size Bed from Amin, one of the owners. Everything is made of Walnut Wood, which is tougher than teak, lighter and more flexible for carving, and is durable to pass it on to multiple generations.

If you want top quality jewellery and the best prices this is the place to go . Every piece of jewellery is made to the best quality and attention to detail . Adil and the boys go out of their way to make or produce whatever you want and to your exact requirements. There are also many beautiful pieces already made and on sale in the shop to tempt with something beautiful in every price range . I had two old diamond rings reset which were family heirlooms but were very old fashioned and I did not wear them . Both rings were sympathetically redesigned making sure to maintain all of the original parts of the rings as their sentimental value was so important . I could not have been more pleased with the results, two stunning rings that I could now actually wear which would keep my grandmother in my heart . In addition, my husband bought me a pair of diamond stud earrings that are simply beautiful . Over the last couple of years have got to know Adil and the boys at Galleria of Gems very well and they are very genuine people . Everything we have bought has been valued and been worth more . If you are looking for jewellery , look no further than here .
