Shantadurga Temple, Goa

Best spot. Nice and calm! Pray and feel the positive energy within you. People who wear trouser and jeans are not allowed inside the temple, however you'll be given an over Towel to wear above your trousers before getting in. Do not litter.

This temple is very amazing and calm place. Despite of any season temple is always cool. You must visit it in festive season. It is very well decorated and full of enthusiasm in festive seasons. It is inside goa and quiet far from beaches. But there are plenty of cars agents available outside the temple on rent.

Visited in November…..Goddess Durga Temple in Goa……Blessed to do Pooja there and seek blessings….Good Temple Food mess inside……Very clean surroundings…..Special programs held during Dussehra and Magh months …..Must visit at least once……Shree Shantadurgayai Namah.

Nice temple. They have dress code to enter in temple. Shorts/skirts/one piece till knee for girls etc not allowed. Women should be in full dress and men should wearing full pant or dhoti. Good things-temple is clean. Bad thing-But no where trash cans are kept. Parking space is problem. No proper parking. Road side is allowed only.

Located in the hills, 30 kms from Panaji, it has had a history of its own. Initally destroyed by the Portuguese and later shifted, it is the temple dedicated to Adishakti form of Durga who intervened and stopped the war between Vishnu & Shiva. Since the temple has been removed several times, you can witness modern architecture. The lamp tower (Deepa Stambha) in front of the temple is awe-inspiring and beautiful and there is a kund right outside the temple. It feels amazing to see history taking refuge in the hills to protect its identity. Note pictures inside the temple is strictly prohibited. Blessed to have been here.
