Which religious communities live in Goa?

The population of Goa is primarily a mixture of Christians and Hindus. The cultural landscape reflects this diversity, with Roman Catholic churches and wayside crosses prominent in the western coastland and estuaries, while Hindu temples and shrines are scattered throughout the hilly eastern regions.1

In addition to these two major groups, Goa is home to a notable Muslim population, as well as smaller communities of Jains, Sikhs, and practitioners of local religions.1
