Mangeshi Temple in Goa

The 450-year-old Mangeshi Temple in Goa is located in Priol village of Ponda taluka. It is also known as Shri Mangesh Temple. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple stands out in the village with its simple yet exquisite structure. The temple architecture features several domes, pilasters, balustrades, and a tower. In the complex, facing the statue of Lord Shiva there is a prominent Nandi Bull and a beautiful seven-tiered Deep Stambha (lamp tower). The temple also features a magnificent water tank, which some believe is the oldest part of Mangeshi Temple in Goa.

Mangeshi Temple Architecture

The architecture of Mangeshi Temple is a delightful sight for tourists. It is constructed in an entirely quintessential Goan style. There are a number of striking features about the Mangeshi Temple in Goa. One of them is the unique Deepastambha. It is a seven-story lamp tower constructed in the shape of an octagon. The golden arches add a dash of glamour to the white lamp tower. It looks majestic especially during the night.  Another feature of the Temple is the figure of Nandi Bull, Lord Shiva’s carrier. The Sabha Griha is a large spacious hall which can accommodate over 500 devotees. The decor in the hall includes chandeliers from the nineteenth century. The central part of the Sabha Griha leads to the main Garbha Griha, which houses the sacred statue of Mangesh. The temple built in typical Goan architecture stands out against a sylvan backdrop of rolling green hills, making it a popular religious landmark to visit in Goa. 

Mangeshi Temple History

The Peshwas donated the land of Mangeshi village to the temple in 1739 by Shri Ramchandra Malhar Sukhtankar, a staunch follower of Shri Mangesh. The temple has been renovated twice from its original structure during the reign of the Marathas in Goa and again in the year 1890. The final renovation, when a golden Kalasha (vessel) was placed atop the dome, took place in 1973.

Mangeshi Temple in Goa is one of the most famous places to visit in Goa. The main temple is dedicated to Lord Manguesh which is an incarnation of Shiva. The Sanskrit words "mam girisha" got associated with Shiva and over time these words got abbreviated to Manguesh. The complex also houses shrines of Goddess Parvati and God Ganesha. 

Daily pujas in Mangeshi Temple in Goa are performed regularly. Every morning, pujas like Abhisheka, Laghurudra, and Maharudra are performed by the temple priests. There is also a Maha Aarti at noon and Panchopchar Pooja at late evening. Find out Mangeshi Temple timings here. Another feature of the Temple is the figure of Nandi Bull, Lord Shiva’s carrier. During the time of Ratha Yatra, an important festival, a lot of tourists visit the place. It happens during the month of Magha Purnima.

Rajendra's 4 days trip to Goa

I have been told everything is covered in package on 4th day also but after going there agent is saying only airport drop is covered and everything else is chargeable. I tried speaking to agent (Firdaus) to clarify this by calling multiple times entire day but received no response. Finally she told me over the phone on 4th day that i need to pay extra charges for 4th day which came as surprise for me.

Chandan's 5 days trip to Goa

"I would like to express my gratitude to Shri Avinash Kumar from Goa Original, in association with Travel Triangle, for the exceptional service provided during our entire tour of Goa. From planning to execution, every detail was meticulously taken care of, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. His professionalism, promptness, and friendly demeanor truly made our trip memorable. However, the car driver's service was not up to the mark and could use some improvement. Overall, a great experience, and I highly recommend their services for a Goa vacation!"
