Anjediva Island or Ilha de Anjediva, Goa: See www.supergoa.com/pt/fortes/f_anjediva.asp &
An offshore territory of Goa, the island was 'leased' by the Bandodkar administration of Goa appointed by India to the Indian Navy.
Legally and constitutionally, it remains a part of Goa, although there is a widespread misconception among Indians that it is a part of the Karnataka state off whose coast it lies.
There are two shrines-Our Lady of the Spring (Nossa Senhora da Brotas), and St. Francis. However, since 2002, access has been strictly denied.
Anjediva, as Portuguese territory, was used by the Christians and Hindus of the mainland as a refuge during the invasion of the coastal kingdoms of Bednore and Soonda by Tipu Sultan, who had created the new state of Khodadad after usurping the throne from the Maharaja Wodeyars of Mysore.
According to recently conducted archalogical survey revealed that,they found pillars,stones,pots,of 11-12 centuries with the artistic work of Kadambasand Chalukyas,as per their conclusion these things might be the remaings of the ruined temple of Godess Aryadurga Devi,Local people call inthe name of 'Ajadurga'Devi Here people have a strong belife that Island bears the name of Deity,people from the part of Goa and Karwar still call this Island as 'Ajadeep'
