Red Ganapati Mandir - Goa    Share

A small but impressive temple worth visiting.Temple is about 26 Kms from Oanjim in north Goa. About 90-100 years back, a cow herder called Hapo, who was employed by King Soundhekar of Bandiwade, found a 1 foot stone Ganesha idol in the forest. He consecrated it in a mandapa made of coconut branches. Even today, a Gudi is erected here every Anant Chaturthi. The first chief Minister of Goa, the late Shri. Dayanand Bandodkar, was inspired to build a new temple here. He had the Idol, which was made of metal alloy, consecrated on April 24, 1966. It is a good specimen of Indian Temple architecture, synthetizing both the ancient and modern forms. Timings- 6.30AM to 12.30PM & 3.30PM to 8.30PM
