State south of Mumbai (3)

I believe the answer is:

goa

(Other definitions for goa that I've seen before include "State of SW India" , "State of India, a former Portuguese colony" , "Former Portuguese colony on India's west coast" , "State on west coast of India" , "stately annexation of India" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
