On the occasion of World Tourism Day, historian and heritage promoter Sanjeev Sardesai will deliver a special public lecture titled ‘Unknown Goa, Unknown Goenkar’, hosted at Clube Tennis de Gaspar Dias in Panaji. This engaging session is part of the club’s ongoing centenary celebrations, marking 100 years of cultural and sporting legacy.
Scheduled for Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM, the event aims to take audiences on a journey into Goa’s lesser-known historical narratives, people, and cultural nuances. Sardesai, known for his deep knowledge of Goan history and his dynamic storytelling, will uncover stories that lie beyond the commonly told tales, offering a fresh and insightful perspective on Goa’s multifaceted identity.
With a career dedicated to preserving and promoting Goan heritage, Sardesai’s talk is expected to explore the hidden layers of Goa’s past—its unsung heroes, vanishing traditions, and overlooked landmarks—inviting attendees to rediscover the richness of the state beyond the familiar.
The talk is open to the public and entry is free, making it an ideal event for history enthusiasts, students, cultural aficionados, and anyone curious about Goa’s roots. As World Tourism Day celebrates cultural exchange and sustainable travel, this lecture offers a meaningful way to reflect on the unique identity of Goa and its people.
For those who cherish Goa not just for its scenic beauty but for its soul, ‘Unknown Goa, Unknown Goenkar’ promises to be an enriching experience.
