of Worship - Sri Manguesh temple at Mangueshi in Ponda Taluka, the most well-known among temples, is situated along the National Highway-4A about 23-km from Panaji. This temple is famous for its immaculate glory, which attracts thousands of visitors every year and is gifted by the Welcome Gate, an elegant lamp tower, a "Noubatkhana" overlooking the temple tank and the "Agrashalas" on three sides. A gateway at the roadside leads to a paved path and courtyard that leads to a water tank, overlooked by the white temple building, rose on a plinth. Also in the courtyard is a seven-storey 'Deepmal', a tower for oil lamps. Inside, the floor is paved with marble, and bands of ornamental tiles splash the white walls. Flanked by large 'Dvarpala' guardians and imprinted silver doorways with fluorite designs lead to the sanctum, which houses a Shiva Lingam. A golden "Shesha" besides the Linga and an image of Shiva constitute the main altar.
The temple is small yet grand with all the component of a Hindu temple, like the Prakara, mini shrines, Garbha Griha, grand towers and spacious courtyards. The entire complex, due to strange impact looks like a Gurdwara or palatial mansion, but when entering the complex, one finds our Hindu traditional gods and their accommodation according to Shastric injunctions. Devout worship is offered to this deity by its citizens and tourists as well. Festivals and periodical devotional activities are conducted with great zeal commendable.
