Tikkar Mata Temple

A beautiful hilltop temple dedicated to Goddess Tikkar Mata with panoramic views and unique architecture.

Tikkar Mata Temple is a local Devi temple on a hilltop a short drive from Mini Goa. For people in the villages around here it's an important place, and many families come to pray before weddings or after a new birth.

The climb up is by steps, with a few places to rest along the way and small stalls selling prasad near the top. From the temple you get an open view of the countryside around, and on a clear day you can make out the reservoir in the distance. It gets busy during the Navratris, when there are bhajans, langar and a small fair. Outside festival time it's peaceful, and a good short stop if you're already in the area. Dress modestly and remove your shoes before entering.
