Sharvani Devasthan

Sharvani Devasthan is a Hindu temple in North Goa featuring architectural elements typical of the region. The structure displays detailed carvings and figures of Hindu deities positioned throughout the building and surrounding spaces.

The temple was originally established in Saligaon but later relocated to its current site in Salgaonwada. This move brought the sanctuary closer to the communities that held it most dear.

The temple honors Vetoba, a local spirit revered across this region, alongside the goddess Sharvani. Visitors come to seek blessings for their families and participate in ceremonies that mark different seasons and occasions throughout the year.

The temple is accessible by roads connecting to larger towns in North Goa and is located in Adavalpal near Bicholim. Visitors should plan for local transportation and note that the best visiting time is outside the midday heat.

The sanctuary maintains connections to several notable figures including industrialist V. M. Salgaonkar and sports commentator Dattatreya B. Prabhu. These ties reflect the ongoing importance of this place for influential local families.
