Holy pace

SHIRGAO has its own beauty. Shirgao is  surrounded with greenery and cool relaxing environment. Shirgao is a holy place of goddess Lairai devi.  It's very old and famous.
Lairai devi and Milagres Saibinn (Virgin Mary) of nearby Mapusa are recognised as sisters by Goan Hindus and Catholics, and illustration of Goa's syncretic ethos. The architecture of the temple is unique,  with a dome and a tall pyramid like tower adorning the top. An annual festival called a Igituna Chalne is held at the temple to offer praise and worship to the goddess. Thousands of followers flock to the temple each year to pyou homage to the goddess
