It is a small shrine dedicated to Kanakeshwar Baba or Bodgeshwar, locally known as Bongini. The god is regarded as agngavani i.e. to whom vows are made and who fulfills desires of the devotees. On the fulfillment of desires, people offer presents to the God as promised by them earlier. A very big fair is held in the month of December/January when thousands of devotees flock to this temple.
If you are one of those who simply need a wish to be fulfilled, then do make a visit to the Bodhgeshwar Temple. The temple is dedicated to Lord Bodhgeshwar who sat below a banyan tree and solved the problems of the people who came in. Goans still have huge faith in the power of the god as such they flock in large numbers to seek the help of Lord Bodhgeshwar. For those who desperately need a wish to be fulfilled, a vow has to be taken. When their wish is granted, the devotees need to fulfil their commitment to the god.
A mela is organised every third week of January and attracts a number of devotees to the temple.
