Indian state whose capital is Panaji (3)

I believe the answer is:

goa

(Other definitions for goa that I've seen before include "stately annexation of India" , "Indian district" , "holiday destination in Asia" , "Part of West India" , "State on west coast of India" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
