Morjai Temple — Attraction in Goa

🙏🙏🙏The Shri Morjai temple is situated in Morjim amidst natural surroundings in the Pernem taluka. This ancient historical temple is dedicated to Goddess, Shri Morjai who is known to be one of the seven sisters who came and resided in different parts of Goa along with their brother, Shri Khetoba.

The Morjai temple at Morjim possesses an elegant look as the temple walls are decorated with rare and extinct 'Kaavi' art friezes. The original 'Mukhmandap' and its window grills also have various geometric and floral patterns which are depicted with this unique 'Kaavi' art. The exterior 'Sabhamandap' dates to 1936 AD and has rectangular columns supporting a balcony above.

The main festival celebrated at the Shri Morjai temple is 'Kalas Utsav' which is celebrated once in every three, five, seven or nine years and which lasts for nearly a month. The festival begins from the 'Phalgun Shudda Panchami' and concludes with a big religious and cultural affair in which people from nearby places gather in large numbers.

Other festivals celebrated at the Shri Morjai temple include Gudi Padwa, Dussehra, the annual zatra 'divzam'...

I recently visited the Morjai temple and was impressed by its beauty and peacefulness. The temple is located in a serene and tranquil setting, surrounded by lush greenery and a calm atmosphere.

The temple itself is stunning, with intricate carvings and beautiful architecture. The deity inside the temple is also impressive and radiates a sense of peace and positivity.

The temple staff were very welcoming and helpful, providing information about the temple and its history. The entire temple complex was clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere for visitors.

Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the Morjai temple. It's a great place to connect with spirituality, appreciate the beauty of the temple and its surroundings, and experience a sense of peace...

If you are traveling in North Goa specially Arambol or Morjim.area, must visit the temple. A temple of Goddess is located in Morjim. Beautiful construction, simple but attractive painting and most important " Shanti". Great environment and powerful energy source one can experience. Sometime map shows error therefore ask localites about route. Temple Garbhagriha remains closed in noon from 12 to 4. However people can visit as main gate...
