The 16th century Secretariat Building was originally the palace of Adil Shah, ruler of the Adil Shahi dynasty of Bijapur, In 1759, it was the viceroy's official residence. Nearby is the statue of a man, apparently about to strangle a woman. It is of Abbe Faria, a famous hypnotist, and his assistant. Born in Candolim in 1756, the Abbe emigrated to France, where he became a celebrated hypnotic medium.
The modern Mahalaxmi Temple is the holy place of worship of the Hindu community in Panaji. Walk up to the Altinho district to have a good view of the town. Walk south from Fontainhas or following the road up past Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church to reach there.
