Mahalasa Temple

The Mahalasa Temple at Mardol beckons with its legends and its lamp tower. Devotees used to take oaths under the bell of the temple. There is some mystification about the deity of this temple, while some believe that the reigning deity is Goddess Laxmi while some accept Mohini as deity.

The most popular temple of Supreme Mother Mahalasa is at Mardol in Goa, which is over 450 years old. Other temples, like the ones in Kumta and Basrur, both in Karnataka, are also said to be over 400 years old.

Shri Mahalasa Narayani has other ancient and historic temples dedicated to Her, including at Nevase in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, where she is known as Shri Mohiniraj of the Amrut Manthan (the epic churning of the ocean) fame. It is believed that it is from Nevase that Shri Mahalasa Narayani came to Verna in Gomantak, that is present-day Goa. Before Nevase, there is a Mohini temple in Nepal, near the world-famous Pashupatinath temple.
