Panjim or Panjim's history goes back to the Purta Dharmas - the charitable deeds of Gandagopal Kelima whose grandfather Kalapa was entrusted with the administration of Panjim by the Kadamba king, Shasthadeva (1007-1050), a good and a glorious king who "by his works redressed all the wrongs in his kingdom".
Panjim or Panjimm perhaps does not have great buildings or well-known attractions but what it has is its character and that is more than enough for a willing visitor to have a look around.
