Panaji, Capital city in Goa, India
The city extends along both banks of the Mandovi River estuary, with white buildings featuring red-tiled roofs and balconies facing the waterfront.
Portuguese colonizers established Panaji as their new capital in 1843 after abandoning Velha Goa due to recurring epidemics in the previous settlement.
The Fontainhas district preserves numerous colonial-era houses painted in Mediterranean colors, with regulations requiring annual whitewashing of building exteriors.
The Corporation of the City of Panaji maintains a network of public buses connecting major landmarks, while auto-rickshaws provide transportation for shorter distances.
The Palace of Adil Shah, constructed in the 16th century, currently functions as the State Secretariat building along the Mandovi riverbank.
