Mangeshi TempleThe Mangeshi Temple used to be located in another town called Cortalem. However, in 1565, the deity was moved to the present location after the Portuguese started destroying all Hindu Temples in the region. It has a unique 7 storeyed structure for lighting the temples lamps. When the Portuguese forbade the people to follow Hindu customs in this area, this temple was transformed into a venue for conducting weddings.
-
Saptakoteshwar TempleWe visit one of the most revered temples of Lord Shiva across the Konkan area. This form of Shiva was the chief deity of the Kings of the Kadamba dynasty around the 12th century. Our Archeologist will bring alive the events of the 14th century when the Bahmani Sultan destroyed the temple and later the Vijayanagara Kings defeated the Sultan and restored the temple to its former glory. More stories will follow about how the Shiva Lingam escaped the wrath of the Portuguese.
