Mangueshi Temple, Hindu temple in Priol, North Goa, India
The temple features a seven-story lamp tower, ornate white facade, spacious courtyard with lotus designs, and detailed carvings depicting Hindu mythology.
Originally situated in Shiroda village, the temple moved to its present location during the 19th century to protect it from Portuguese invasions.
Each year during Mahashivratri festival, the temple complex fills with worshippers participating in traditional prayers, musical performances, and dance celebrations.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from sunrise to sunset, requiring modest dress code and maintaining specific guidelines for photography within designated areas.
The temple structure incorporates traditional Goan architectural elements with intricate stone carvings representing Lord Manguesh, an incarnation of Shiva.
