This entry inaugurates a mini project that will be added to the Panjim Promenade file. In this series, I shall assemble images of the doors, windows, and walls of the old houses in Panjim. I like to think of them as windows to the city’s soul. Needless to add, none of the post-1961 rubbish makes the cut.

Go here for earlier entries of Panjim Promenade.
Ever since my birth in Fontainhas, this city is in my blood. Panaji never fails to fascinate me. See the charm during monsoon, from September to November with colourful clouds from Mandovi bridge or from across the river from Verem. An outstanding tribute to city of my birth-Panjim/Panaji. I liked this idea very much. To any anthropologist this work by Dr. Rajanbab would serve as a pictorial objective lesson in capturing and chronicling aesthetic and historical urban elements. Many more deeper photographic essays are required on this beautiful city which is still full of patterns, motifs, symbols…almost all photographs are fit for a beautiful monograph and Dr. Rajanbab should get these in a hard copy…congratulations and we want more….
Simply splendid and a magnificent historical record of a special place. Very well done.
