    This study attempts to research on the Evolution of Goan Cultural Legacy from Tradition to Modernity. Goa has a glorious past, deeply rooted in village traditions, ritual practices and oral legends. The Goan Identity has evolved due to the impact of the rule of various dynasties such as the Kadambas, the Vijayanagara rulers and the Adil Shahis, who left their cultural imprints on the Goan society, and the emergence of the Portuguese in Goa. It is a blend of Orient and Occident, where local traditions coexist with Western influences. The ‘Golden Goa’ image has evolved due to its long-chequered history. This project delves into the various facets of Goan socio-cultural legacy, with special reference to specific festivals and community practices in order to understand the transition of Goan culture from tradition to modernity
