@dsourceindia Maendra Jocelino Araujo Alvares is the person behind the center for the preservation of Art, Culture, and Environment, known as ancestral Goa. Mr Maendra was awarded Limca's Book of Records in 1994 for sculpting the largest sculpture of Sant Mirabai, India’s singing saint, on laterite rocks. The hard work of Mr Maendra made the small town of Loutolim in Goa, which was inaccessible and providentially backwards, hold its position on the world map of tourists. He has managed to place his village in the hall of fame and garner international acclaim for his land. Ancestral Goa has become an educational premise for Nature Club programs of various schools and colleges, and a vital part of the syllabus of the “Environmental Study” groups as mandated by the State Board of Education. Many foreigners visit this place for their annual study tours and Indian architectural studies.
