Goa Temple Restoration Uncovers 14th-16th Century Relics, CM Announces Heritage Project
Restoration work at Goa's Saptakoteshwar temple site on Divar island has uncovered relics dating from the 14th to 16th centuries, including temple motifs and structural elements. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant highlighted these findings as evidence of successive temple reconstructions, particularly during the Vijayanagar period, following earlier Kadamba temples. He noted that many temples were destroyed during Portuguese rule and announced the Koti Tirth Corridor project aims to revive this heritage, with completion expected within a year.
