Shantadurga Kalangutkarin Temple, Bicholim, Goa India

Shantadurga Kalangutkarin Temple, dedicated to goddess Shantadurga, is located in the Nanoda village in Bicholim taluka in Goa. The goddess, usually worshipped in a Shanta form, is revered by the devotees as Vishweshwari in this pilgrimage centre.

Originally, Shantadurga Kalangutkarin Temple was constructed in Calangute near Mapusa City Taluka Badez. During the 17th century the temple was moved from its original location to Nanora, located between the city of Assonora and Mulgaon, in Bicholim Taluka due to the torments inflicted by the Portuguese invaders on the Hindus and the forceful conversion into their religion.
