==History==
==History==
The original site of Sri Mangeshi temple is Kushasthali or Cortalim in [[Salcette]] Taluka. To avoid the increasing [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]] missionary activities in Goa, the [[Goud Saraswat Brahmin|GSB]] community was afraid for the safety of the temples and idols. Hence the families worshipping Shree [[Shantadurga]] and Shree Manguesh, on a moonless night, leaving their homes and hearths crossed over the [[Zuari River]] to a safer region which was under the rule of the Muslim King [[Adilshah]].
