  • lives here hardly 05 minutes walking distance from his palatial mansion to mangeshi temple
  • We visited the place during our honeymoon and found the construction well maintained. but it was a bit disappointing to see the behaviour of the keepers of the temple. Also if there could be some old scriptures accessible to people as it is a historical site. Wish someone would mark the place where Dinanath mangeshkarji stayed. we could not find the house...
  • Unlike the other temples in Ponda, Sri Mangeshi temple has a lot of tourists rather than devotees. This must be listed in the Goa's tourist "to-see" destinations linking it to the Lata/ Asha dynesty. Fortunately or unfortunately, this temple takes the brunt of the tourists leaving the other temples in Ponda in peace. Amongth the influx of tourist, the temple has its own charm of the temple tali (or tank) that greets you as you climb up to the temple premises. The above pictures were taken on our May'07 visit to India.
  • Shri Mangeshi is my Kuladevata and I feel I am lucky as I am born as a Mahajan of this Temple.
  • Our kuldaiwat is Mangesh-Mahalaxmi. I feel realy fortunate to be a follower of Mangesh. This is a very beautiful temple with lovely surrounding.
  • It should be noted that the name Mangeshkar has no connection with the Mangueshi Temple. It is not built by any of the members famous Mangeshkar Family. So please do not get misguided that it was built by Dinanath or Lata Mangeshkar etc. Guides in Goa misguide people with this information. So, a word of caution.
  • Sri Mangesh temple is famous for its pristine glory, which attracts thousands of visitors every year. 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. One finds that inside the temple the Hindu traditional gods and their accommodation are according to Shastric injunctions. Festivals and periodical devotional activities are conducted with great zeal. Shri Mangesh temple actually had its origins in Kushasthali; now know as Cortalim, a village in Salcete. Salcete fell into Portuguese rule in 1543. This temple was dutifully preserved until the arrival of the Inquisition from Europe in 1567, when it was vandalized and demolished. The Peshwas donated the village of Mangeshi to the temple in 1739 on the suggestion of their Sardar, Shri Ramchandra Malhar Sukhtankar, who was a staunch follower of Shri Mangesh. Ironically, just a few years after it was built, this area too fell into Portuguese hands in 1764, but by now, the Portuguese had lost their initial religious zeal and had become quite tolerant of other religions, and so, this structure remained untouched.
