A very beautiful temple, maintained well & always clean. Huge premises but after entering the main gate, it is often confusing due to lack of proper sign boards of entry & exit points at the temple. Also, no provision to provide sanitizer to devotees at the temple.

Loved this holly place, the temple is spacious with lots of greenery around it. There is big hall in the center of temple with ample place to sit and worship/ meditate. You have to follow dress code at this temple, no shorts or sleeve less clothes are allowed. Applicable for both males as well females.

One of the most Sacred, Holy and Beautiful place in the State. A place of Goddess Mahalasa is like a Heaven on the earth, located at Verna Goa. This place is recently developed by GSIDC ,Goa.

The temple is built on very large property and has very beautiful infrastructure built. On left side of the entrance there is a washroom for the devotees.

Really a surprise visit to this temple. I have never visited this place before. It's beautiful, awesome and huge. Really a peaceful place and a must visit. Photos are not allowed inside the temple.

Goa is famous for tourism and various temples of various Hindu Deities. Speciality of Goa Temples is total cleanliness and pure holiness. You will also not find any beggar outside any temple like other places in Maharashtra. Verna is a major Industrial Area in Goa. Shri Devi Mahalsa Temple is an old temple there. I understood that It's the place of origin of Devi Mahalsa. Couldn't check whether it is true or false but the temple is well renovated and maintained. Area of this temple is also huge like other temples at Goa. During the Portuguese era idol of Devi Mahalsa was shifted to Mhaddol Area where today we can take darshan of Devi Mahalsa. In fact today, Mhaddol Temple is like the main temple of Devi Mahalsa. This Verna temple is also duly renovated but it still has preserved it's own old charm and surrounding. There are other small temples in the vicinity of this temple. Entry is restricted to those who wear shorts, bermudas, mini skirts and or other similar outfits. This rule is almost everywhere in all the temples at Goa. You must visit this temple if you are at Goa and if you love visiting temples.

Peaceful environment! Calming & well maintained... Interiors are Magical...u feel like sitting on water inside the Temple...with reflection of ceiling on the floor..Get to feel the Breeze outside... the front tree canopy provides cool shadow! Also the sunset view with Red sun is sooo heavenly!

This temple is much bigger and more beautiful than many temples of Goa.Here you will find a picnic-like atmosphere.Special attention has been given to cleanliness from the inner parts of the temple to the exterior. In the temple premises, you can also perform auspicious work like marriage, which is fully arranged here. The special thing about this temple is that you must have seen the worship in every temple, but outside this temple, security personnel have also been installed

The temple is absolutely breathtaking. The intricate architecture and beautiful colors really made it stand out. It was such a peaceful and serene environment, and I felt so calm and centered while I was there. Overall, it was a really special experience that I'll never forget. 🙏🏼✨

Amazing temple to visit...the shades of infrastructure, the greenery everything will catch your eyes

Both tourism and numerous temples dedicated to various Hindu Deities are well-known in Goa. Goa temples are known for their absolute purity and unadulterated sacredness. Additionally, unlike other locations in Maharashtra, there won't be a beggar outside any temple. A significant industrial area in Goa is Verna. There is an ancient temple called Shri Devi Mahalsa Temple. I realised that it is the location of Devi Mahalsa's birth. I was unable to confirm whether it is correct or otherwise, but the temple is kept clean and renovated. Like other temples in Goa, this particular one has an extensive area.

A place for the soul. A religious spot on the way to Panjim. The location stands out to me as a good meditation spot.

If any place can rightly claim to be the first place where the beloved Goddess Shri Mahalasa Narayani came to Goa, then it is Varenyapur, now known as Verna, in the southern part of the scenic coastal state of Goa. Lord vishnu took avtar of female called Mohini in this place. For centuries, there existed a temple dedicated to the Goddess, the female form of Lord Vishnu also known as Mohini, until it was razed to the ground by the Portuguese invaders in the year 1567 AD. This temple is 15km from Dabolim airport. Dress- Shorts not allowed for men as well as for female.

Extremely serene and beautiful temple. The calm and cleanliness is exemplary. The building is beautiful. The idols of Gods are very beautiful. The temple has a great history. The new temple was built in about 2007-2008 There is ample parking available. Washrooms are neat and clean and are located next to main entrance.
