Truly a Divine Experience!! I used to stay very near this spectacular temple and in my view the Shiva idol is just awesome! If one looks closely at Shiva's face, a keen observer can almost see Shiva's mood reflections.Somtimes he is angry or sometimes smiling. I have always felt Shiva's presence whenever I have been around this idol.
it's true that the shiva temple in kempfort is awesome. But whether the shopping mall (just in front of the temple) has taken the beauty away from the temple is to be considered.
Magnificent My brother took us to this beautiful Shiva temple in August of 2004, it was our highlight of our trip. My daughter and I were spellbound, we felt that we were in kailash and closer to the lord himself. Eversince i have been recommending my U.S friends to keep this as one of their important agenda when they tour around India. What a wonderful gift to humanity.
Name of Spice Farm? I'd love to know the name of this particular farm-been to a Goan spice farm near Ponda but this one would be great for our next visit as we are travelling with children.
A Goan's Viewpoint of your article. Hi, I'm Clinton Vaz, a young naturalist who has lived in Goa all my life. I read about your holiday in Goa and have a few corrections for your article:
1. The crocodiles you saw at the croc trip were 'Mugger Crocodiles' and are not as dangerous as you were informed! In fact, its perfectly safe to swim in the river they live in and there NEVER has been any deaths due to a croc attack in Goa.
2. The toe of St. Francis Xavier was bitten off by a lady, (she wanted to know if it was a real body or not) but it happned in the 18th century, and not at the last exposition. Preservatives were used to preserve the relics.
3. Souza Lobo at Calangute is known among locals as the most racist restaurant by the beach. I have been there twice and have been ignored and abused by the staff. I don't recommend anybody going there.
