The Eternal Radiance of
Lord Damodar

On the serene banks of the Kushawati River, Shri Damodar Temple has stood as one of Goa’s most revered spiritual centres for over five centuries — an unbroken chain of devotion connecting the ancient to the living.

The deity, Lord Damodar — a rare incarnation of Lord Shiva uniquely enshrining both a Shiva Linga and Lakshmi Narayana — draws pilgrims from across India. Part of the sacred Ekadasha Teertha circuit, the temple is the spiritual heart of the Goud Saraswat Brahmin community.
