Probably the most critical Hindu monuments in North Goa is the temple dedicated to Sri Kalika located within the Gillage Kansarpal close to Assonora, a few kilometers from the Mapusa town. The Daivadnya Brahmans are the main devotes of this deity. A huge gold "Kalash" atop the dome of the temple beckons a large number of devotees and inquisitive guests to this or else secluded location.
The temple is dedicated to Goddess Kali, which is the Rudra type of Goddess Durga. The temple represents a fine blend of aesthetics and architectural designs.
