Nagesh is a form of the Hindu god Shiva worshipped by Konkani Hindus of the Gaud Saraswat Brahmin community in India. The temple lies in verdant surroundings in the South Goa district of Goa. Unlike many other Hindu temples of Goa which were shifted out of the Velha Conquistas the Nagueshi Temple is at its original place. It has, however, been renovated a number of times. It is located in Bandode village, Ponda, North Goa district.
Within the temple precincts is a tali or water reservoir surrounded by palms. The reservoir is built so that standing at a certain location around the tali, a person can view the reflection of the idol of Naguesh and the lighted lamps in the inner sanctum.
The temple has recently banned entry of foreigners into the temple citing objectionable dressing and conduct as the reason.
