Mapusa, Goa, IndiaMore information:
Mapusa in North Goa before the Aryans, or Marathas, Sultans or the Portuguese arrived in Goa, this was an agrarian community with a well established Gaunkari or Community Farming System, where villages formed associations, worked on community land and shared profits. Market day was a major event, with goods brought in from every district to one central area. Mapusa has thus remained a prominent market center for many centuries.
