Mangueshi Temple

Mangueshi is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It was built in the 17th century. This temple is situated at Priol, on a hillock surrounded by green hills. It is dedicated to Lord Mangueshi an incarnation of Lord Shiva. The deity is originally from Cortalim and was moved to Priol to avoid the Portuguese destruction in the early days of its rule. The oldest part of the temple complex is the water tank in front of the temple. It has undergone many renovations and today its style is uniquely Goan. At the entrance to the temple is a majestic lamp tower, one of the special architectural features of many Goan temples. There are about 12 'Agrashalas' or residences for pilgrims around the temple.

Virtual Tour of Goa - Churches and Temples Written by ainamohan on 2009-12-10 14:22:07 Hi GOA is really a beautiful place with many churches, temples, clean beaches but for the terror news coming out from GOA like Rapes and MURDERS of Innocent persons and ladies and girls and the GOA POLICE IS SITTING IDLE IN CONTROLLING THE SITUATION. THE POLITICIANS COMMITING THE CRIME GOES SCOTS FREE, THE MURDERERS WALK FREELY ON THE STREETS SPREADING FRIGHT AND FEAR IN THE MINDS OF THE TOURISTS. SURELY GOA HAS LOST IT'S PURENESS & IT WILL AFFECT THE TOURISM DEPT. VERY BADLY. WAKE UP AUTHORITIES BEFORE IT BECOMES VERY LATE.
