Shri Mangueshi Temple

Whitewashed Shiva temple at Priol, known for its elegant lamp tower and Goan temple style.

Shri Mangueshi Temple is one of the best-known temples in Goa, set in Priol village north of Ponda. The white tower, courtyard, and deepastambha make it visually memorable, but the main value is seeing a living Goan temple tradition that feels very different from the churches and beach culture that dominate most first visits to the state.
