This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Shree Mangueshi Temple is located at a distance of approximately 22 kilometers from Panjim City in the village of Priol, in Ponda Taluka. It was in the 16th century that the linga of this temple was brought to Priol (where it is currently located) from the village of Cortalim to avoid desecration by the Portuguese government. It was constructed in the 18th century. Lord Shiva is worshipped here in the form of Mangesh. The Deepastambha is an eye-catching structure; it is a seven storey octagonal lamp tower.
