Kurumgad Island
World / India / Karnataka / Karwar World / India / Goa / South Goa
Once a year there is a grand annual festival on this once inhabited island. People from Goa & Karnataka flock to this island once a year in January to offer prayers at the Lord Narasimha temple which opens only for 2 days a year during Pushya Poornima. It is believed that this half Lion & half human deity, reincarnation of Lord Vishnu in Hindu Mythology, swam accross the sea & made his way to this island tearing it apart & made it it's abode. The island has a sweet water pond despite the fact that it is located 3km away from Karwar town in the Arabian sea.
