The Thovoi live in Goa, India, and speak Konkani. Thovoi is the name of the carpenter’s trade in the villages of Goa. According to a historical study, carpenters repaired the sluice gates that prevented fields from flooding, a service essential to village life. Today’s Thovoi community is Christian.
