Porvorim (pronounced Parvari ), is the De facto legislative and executive capital of the state of Goa, India, as both the Goa Legislative Assembly and Secretariat are functioning from the same complex in the region of Alto Porvorim in porvorim.(Alto - Portuguese word meaning high or upper). Soon it will also become the De facto judicial capital of Goa, when the High Court of Bombay at Goa (Bombay High Court - Panaji Bench) which is currently functioning from Lyceum complex in Panaji, is transferred to the new building complex which is being constructed in Alto - Betim Porvorim region of Porvorim. The construction of the new building is expected to be completed by December 2020. Porvorim is situated on the right bank (north bank) of the Mandovi River, as de jure capital of Goa, Panaji is located on the opposite bank. Porvorim is considered an upmarket residential hub as it lies on the Mumbai–Goa highway NH66. Goa's largest shopping centre - Mall De Goa - is situated here.
