On May 30, 1987 Goa was conferred statehood and became the 25th state of the Indian Republic.


The state of Maharashtra borders Goa on the north, the state of Karnataka on the south and east. The vast expanse of the Arabian Sea on the west forms the magnificent coastline for which Goa is justly famous.
