Goa Architecture by Mukesh Verma
Goa Architecture
The architecture of Goa is a delightful combination of India, Mughal and Portugal styles. Since the Portuguese ruled this place for two centuries, many churches and houses bear a striking element of the Portugal style of architecture. Goa was also under the Mughal rule and thus one finds monuments built in the typical Mughal style complete with the domes. The typical Goan architecture is very simple and easy going and is visible in buildings like modern churches, houses, etc.
By the end of the 18th century, there was a sea change in style of buildings in Goa. Though the Portugal essence remained, there was an overdose of colors and usage of tiles increased. Blue and red turned out to be favorite colors with many houses being painted in bright blues and the roofs being covered by red tiles. The houses are usually large and have spacious rooms with windows for ventilation. Each house also has a separate room or secluded space for keeping the idol or photographs of their Gods thus indicating how religious the Goans are.
Curdi Temple:
The Shiva Temple at Curdi and Nundem in Songue Taluka belong to the 6th or 7th century. They are the oldest temples found in Goa. The rectangular Curdi Temple is in the Silahara style and is built of later-ite stone. There is an open hall at the entrance with the sanctum at the back surmounted by a pyramidical Shikara. The open hall is supported by granite pillars with capitals having carved circular rings. The sanctum doorway is of granite ornamented with creepers and flowers. A Ganesh image adorns the middle of top of the sanctum’s doorway. The ceiling of the open hall has a pendant in Lotus design. The Temple is surrounded by wild growth of bamboo and banyan trees. The Nundem Temple is belonging to the same period and is also built of laterite stone. The Shilakara of this Temple is also pyramidical.
