Shanta Durga Temple, Hindu temple in Kavale, Ponda district of Goa, India
The temple features an east-facing structure with a deep lamp tower, water reservoir, and courtyard adorned with intricate architectural details.
The temple was relocated from Keloshi to Kavale between January and November 1566 to protect it from Portuguese colonial destruction.
The temple contains a four-armed Durga statue holding Vishnu in her right hand and Shiva in her left, symbolizing peace between Hindu denominations.
The temple complex remains open daily from 5 AM to 10 PM and includes guest houses on both sides for visiting worshippers.
The temple grounds contain a rare black stone Shivalinga measuring six inches in height next to the main deity statue.
