Go On A Temple Run

The information in this post might be outdated

While Goa is mostly known for its churches,  the temples here are of architectural and cultural interest too. Take for example, the Shri Mangueshi Temple that’s located in a small village near Ponda. It is dedicated to Lord Manguesh, a Goan deity and an incarnation of Lord Shiva. The 16th century temple is marked by a seven-storied lamp tower, domes, and ornate chariots. Close by, there’s also the Shri Mahalsa Temple that’s again dedicated to a local deity. Mahalasa is said to be a female reincarnation of Lord Vishnu.
