SOLE MATE

Margao is a place where traditions are valued and passed down, and the worn soles bear witness to countless stories - of weddings, festivals, children taking their first steps, and of weary travellers exploring the town's vibrant streets.

TASTE OF FRESHNESS

The colourful fruits at this youth's stall are always waiting to be juiced and the blender's whirring and its rhythmic churn are an addition to the market's cacophony.
