| Video Discription | Dona Paula is famous tourist destination in the suburbs of Panaji, Goa, India. It is today home to the National Institute of Oceanography. Dona Paula was a woman of charity and is known to have helped the villagers and worked a lot for their betterment, so after her death, the villagers decided to rename the village as Dona Paula. There are few theories regarding the statue. First Theory: According to Heta Pandit in her book 'Walking in Goa,' the statue seen today at the jetty in Dona Paula is in reality the sculpture of Mr.and Mrs. Robert Knox. It was a Dutch sculptor, Baroness Yrse Von Leistner who etched the sculpture as she admired the philosopher Robert Knox. Second Theory: The statue is of a Father who is pointing to the West, indicating to his daughter, about their origins and telling her, "West is were we come from." |
