Shri Saptakoteshwar Temple
Shri
Saptakoteshwar: (37 kms. from Panaji at Narve-Bicholim)
Was a
favoured deity of Kadamba Kings. Its orginal temple was situated in the
island of Diwar. It was destroyed by the Portuguese and the idol was
shifted to its present site at Narve (Bichoh'm). Many years afterwards in
1668 A. D. Chhatrapati Shivaji ordered renovation of this temple at the
present site during one of his campaigns to oust the Portuguese. The linga
worshipped in this temple is faceted and is known as 'Dharalinga'.
