Our Lady of Good Health (Old Church) Vasco

India / Goa / Cortalim /

This place housed the Deity Shantadurga Shankhavaleshvari and Lakshmi Narsimha, now located in Veling, Mardhol.
The temple was completed in 1566, when the Portuguese destroyed the Ancient Laxmi Narasimha temple, but the church somehow caught fire and now is in derelicts. The Deity Laxmi Narasimha was embarked on a boat which sailed across the Zuari, leading to Veling, Mardhol. Today the temple in Veling, still commemorates this act of bringing the idol from Sancaole to Mardhol, by imitating the act on the Temple lake.
