Ponda - Mahalsya temple
Mahalsya temple is a very unique temple. It
is dedicated to the female form of Lord Vishnu. The
Goddess Mahalasa was a much feared deity and justice
dispensed by taking oath under the "Justice Bell" was
recognized even by Portuguese courts. Temple carvings
that relate to the Shakti cult and a rare series of
carvings of Lord Vishnu. The main attraction of this
temple, besides the deity, is the recent addition of
an enormous brass Garuda pillar mounted on the back
of a turtle. |
