Indian state in the Western Ghats (3)

I believe the answer is:

goa

(Other definitions for goa that I've seen before include "Indian island state" , "State of India, a former Portuguese colony" , "State on west coast of India" , "Region of India" , "Indian holiday destination" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
