Nagueshi or Nagesh is a form of theHindu godShiva worshipped byKonkaniHindus of theGaud Saraswat Brahmin community inIndia. The temple lies in verdant surroundings in thePonda district of Goa. Unlike many otherHindu temples of Goa which were shifted out of theVelha Conquistas the Nagueshi Temple is at its original place. It has, however, been renovated a number of times. It is located in Bandode village, Ponda, North Goa district.
Within the temple precincts is a tali or water reservoir surrounded by palms. The reservoir is built so that standing at a certain location around the tali, a person can view the reflection of the idol of Naguesh and the lighted lamps in the inner sanctum.
The temple has recently banned entry of foreigners into the temple citing objectionable dressing and conduct as the reason.
