SHRI MAHALASA TEMPLE

the beautiful temple complex is famous in Goa for its huge brass bell. The bell does not have a ringer. The ringer was attached only when somebody wanted to testify.

It was believed that the goddess will punish the person who lied while ringing the bell. The belief was so strong that during the Portuguese rule the testimony in the temple was considered acceptable in the court of law.
