🌊 Discover Goa’s Floating Faith
Goa is well-known for its beaches, nightlife, and churches—but few know of the floating temples nestled on river islands and accessible only by boat. These temples aren’t literally floating, but they feel like they are—built on serene riverbanks, lush island terrain, and accessible through a mix of road and boat travel.
If you’re a seeker of offbeat spirituality, ancient legends, and divine architecture, this journey is your perfect escape.
