This is how Goa's renovated Saptakoteshwar temple looks like

This is how the renovated Saptakoteshwar Temple located in the village of Narve, Bicholim, looks.

The temple derives its name from the words 'sapt' (meaning seven) and 'koteshwar' (meaning crores).

The Saptakoteshwar temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Not only Goans, but devotees from outside Goa, especially the Konkan belt, come to this temple to seek blessings.

Efforts have been made to maintain the glory of the temple and its surroundings while preserving its deepstambh, tulsi vrindavan and tali (pond).
