The Story

Where devotion, South Goa

The story of the Kunkallikarin deity is connected with Cuncolim (Kunkalli), from which the name Kunkallikarin originates. Like several important Goan Hindu deities, the goddess's history is connected with the movement and preservation of religious traditions during the Portuguese period. The deity eventually became established at Fatorpa, where the temple developed into an important centre of worship for devotees from Goa and beyond.
