Introduction to Shree Ramnath Devsthan
In the serene village of Ramnathim in Bandivade, South Goa, lies the venerable Shree Ramnath Devsthan, a temple that embodies the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of Goa. This 450-year-old sanctuary, with its blend of Goan and Maratha architecture, stands as a testament to the resilience and devotion of the local community. Initially built in Loutolim, the temple was relocated to its current site to protect it from the ravages of colonial oppression, a move that has preserved its sacred essence.As you approach the temple, you're greeted by the intricate silver screen adorning the sanctum's door, a masterpiece of craftsmanship that hints at the treasures within. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of incense and the soft murmur of prayers, as devotees pay homage to Ramnath, an avatar of Lord Shiva, along with other deities like Lakshmi Narayan, Ganesh, and Betal. The temple's tranquil surroundings, punctuated by the gentle rustle of palm trees, create a haven where spirituality and nature intertwine seamlessly. Here, every visit is a journey into the heart of Goan culture and a celebration of its enduring traditions.

What People Say about Shree Ramnath Devsthan
Amazing Service
A wonderful experience visiting the temple in the rains. The temple has nearly hundred rooms for the pilgrims, available cheaply if booked in advance. The temple's main deity is the sculpture of a God or Goddess. Temples underline a strong link between God, human and universality in a designated sacred place. One of is Shree Ramanath Temple, Ponda - Kulavi or Kuladevi temple. Visiting yearly a must place.
