India's smallest state (3)

I believe the answer is:

goa

'india's smallest state' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for goa that I've seen before include "Indian region" , "holiday destination in Asia" , "Former Portuguese territory in India" , "part of subcontinent" , "State of SW India" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the LA Times, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
