One of the capital city's most discerning asset is the Mahalaxmi Temple. It is located on the Dada Vaidya Road
The Mahalaxmi diety is the chief object of veneration for all Panjimities, irrespective of caste, class, sex or creed.
This temple is 199 years old which has a facinating history.
It was the first hindu temple allowed to be constructed in Goa after 300 years by the Portuguese since they captured Goa in 1510.
It was built on 2nd July 1818.
A lot of devotees visit the temple during Hindu festivals like Dussera amd Mahashivratri. The main festivals celebrated here are Navratri and Chaitra Purnima.
