Tawang Monastery is the second biggest and oldest in Asia. Perched atop a hill dominating everything around and below it is an enormous yellow-roofed Tawang monastery.
The Tawang Monastery has a residential building for the monks, a library, a museum and school for basic education.

3) Mary D’Souza, India’s first double international, who starred for the country on both track and hockey pitch, on a wall in the Panjim Market. Walk from Geeta Bakery to the market to notice it.

4) On a wall next to Don Bosco College in Panaji, ace sprinter Seraphino Antao who won double gold for Kenya at the 1962 Commonwealth Games. The Goan-origin Kenyan is also referred to as the Cheetah and is the fastest runner from India or Kenya.
5) A work in progress. Solomon was sketching as she was discussing her works at Vista du Mundo at the festival. It's only much later that I realised that it was Solomon Souza at work. @ Panjim, Goa, India
