Goa: Sanguem town shuts down for 3 days till Sunday | Goa News The decision for a lockdown was not taken by the municipality QUEPEM: Ninety percent of shops and business establishments in Sanguem town remained shut after the local merchants association announced a self-imposed lockdown for three days from Friday.

#DudhsagarFalls The majestic cascade of white water, gushing over the steep, nearly vertical face of the mountain from a spectacular height of 1017ft; is both breath taking and awe inspiring, making one aware that there are many forces in nature much more powerful that the human mind and body. The name ‘#Dudhsagar’ literally translates to ‘sea of milk’ which many believe is an allusion to the white spray and foam that the great waterfall creates as it cascades into the waters of the lake. The falls are at their zenith during the monsoon season, although they are a popular attraction all year round. Location This waterfall is located in the #Sanguem Taluka of #Goa, and falls into the jurisdiction of the Goa Forest departments since it is a part of the #BhagwanMahavirWildlifeSanctuary. One can go by road or rail to #Kulem railway station and then trek to the waterfall or hire a jeep with a driver to get closer in; however, there will still be a walk to reach the base of the falls. Myth and Legend There is an old legend that centres round the name of the falls. The tale goes that there was once a princess who was the daughter of the King of the Ghats. This young lady was as modest as she was beautiful and believed in purity of heart, mind and body. The legend goes on that she used to bathe in the lake near her father’s castle every day. After her bath she and her handmaidens would congregate on the shores of the lake whilst the princess consumed a jug of milk. The jug, it is said was wrought of pure gold and inlaid with sparkling diamonds. One day, as the princess was drinking her milk, a young and handsome prince was making his way through the nearby woods. On hearing the laughter and chatter of the ladies, he stopped to have a look. The princess was much abashed by her scanty bathing attire and her handmaidens poured the milk in a cascade in front of her, thus creating a curtain behind which she could don her clothes. This cascade of milk, which preserved the modesty of the princess, is the namesake of the Dudhsagar falls. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2LEV7cBzvo/?igshid=1dvui2qxyk10c

There's something about the jungles that woo me to its depths. And the most beautiful parts lie on its fringes... Small households with large fields, a winding trail and a small freshwater canal. I can hear the gurgling water everytime I look at this picture.
