One could say Lord Saptakoteshwar’s
fortunes rose and fell with
those of Goa. This temple was
the final shrine built for the
deity which has been worshipped
for more than a thousand years
by Goans and the crumbling temple
was renovated by none other
than Maharaj Chhatrapati Shivaji
himself in 1688. Next comes

nestles sparkling silver among
low forested hills. The tour
