The temple tour can be resumed by offering prostrations unto Goddess Mahalakshmi, the presiding deity of Panaji, the capital of Goa. The primary temple is reconstructed recently. The main festivals at this temple are Navaratri and Chaitra Purnima.
A kilometre away and perched around the Altinho hillock overlooking the Mandovi River is the temple of Sri Maruti, which is equally patronised through the city dwellers. The Maruti Zatra inside the month of February attracts large crowds of devotees from far and near. |
