The Indigenous Ethno Botanical Face of Gomantak

Dr. Maryanne Lobo, an Ayurvedic physician has a profound love and connection to the land, a sentiment instilled by her grandaunt and grandfather. Coming from ancestors deeply connected to nature, she is passionate about documenting and researching heritage, cultural practices, and traditional food.

For her, Goa represents a confluence of diverse cultures, heritage, and natural practices intertwined with spirituality and animistic traditions. She observes that places of worship, regardless of creed, are often surrounded by biodiverse environments, including ancient trees that stand as silent witnesses to history. These trees, having withstood the passage of time, hold stories deeply rooted in conservation and spirituality.
