Sri Damodar Temple

Sri Damodar Temple


Shri Damodar of Zambauli is a ‘migrant’ deity from Mathagrama (Margao). The original temple at Margao, which probably belonged to Kadamba period, was razed to the ground by Captain Diogo Rodrigues under the instructions of Dom Casper Leao Pereira, the first Archbishop of Goa and the Church of the Holy Spirit was deliberately built at that exact spot and consecrated in 1565 AD. It was again rebuilt in 1675 AD in baroque style.
