Famous Temple Of Goa

<h2><strong>About The Temple</strong></h2>

<p>Shantadurga Temple is dedicated to Goddess Shantadurga who meditated between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Shri <strong>Shantadurga Temple is located at the foothill village in Ponda Taluka in<a href="https://www.planmypackage.com/blogs/south-goa" target="_blank"> South Goa</a></strong> which is about 30 Km from the capital city of Goa Panaji. It&rsquo;s a private complex that belongs to Saraswati Brahma Samaj. Shree Shantadurga Devi is an avatar of <strong>Shree Jagdamba Devi</strong>, it is said in Puranas that Lord Brahma prayed to Goddess Durga to intervene in the battle between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. To make peace between the both, Shree Shantadurga placed Lord Shiva on the left hand and Lord Vishnu on the right hand to settle the fierce battle between them. Keloshi was the main origin of the Shree Shantadurga <a href="https://www.planmypackage.com/blogs/church-and-temple-in-north-goa" target="_blank"><strong>Temple </strong></a>but was later shifted to Kovlem in South Goa during the time of Portuguese rule. When you visit the temple it is imperative to worship lord Shiva as well because it is said that Shree Shantadurga is an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva. A six-inch Shivalinga carved out of a black stone is placed near the Devi&rsquo;s murti and both the deities are worshipped while doing the abhisheka. Many tourists from all over the country visit the temple for peace and stay there for many hours to worship the Gods especially at the time of November and December when the annual Jatra is celebrated.</p>
