Gothos

Gothos

Gothos is a small sleepy village at the base of Raganagad Fort in Sindhudurg District of Maharashtra State in Western India. The nearest town and railway station is Kudal.

The Village was presented as Inam to the Rajyadhyaksha Family from Pilgaon in Goa who were fleeing from the Portuguese Inquisition in the 17th century by the Raja of Sawantwadi. Hence the family was conferred the title of Gothoskar.

The Village has two main temples:

1) Bhavai Temple houses the main Goddess of the village

2) Vithoba-Rakhumai Temple.

The Guardian Spirit of the Village is called Daadsakhal and is housed on a Banyan Tree on the main road.
