Exploring Lesser Known Heritage - Namazgah in Bicholim | December 2020 | 4K Goa India Virtual Tour

In this video, we will be exploring another lost and forgotten remnant of Goa's heritage: NAMAZGAH. It's a simple yet beautiful remnant of #Goa's medieval Islamic architecture. Situated in Bicholim taluka of Goa, it is approximately 25 kms away from Panjim. Namazgah, which means a place of prayer, is an open air praying area perched on top of a hillock, surrounded by mining sites. The monument has been declared to be of state importance, but accessing it is quite a tedious task, but definitely worth it.

Despite the support of a combined army of Muslim and Rajput soldiers, the prince’s attempt to seize control failed and he was forced to retreat to the Deccan for safety. The Maratha king granted the fallen prince asylum, forging an alliance, and the Rajput-Mughal and Maratha troops collaborated to defeat the Portuguese invasion in Goa. In commemoration of this victory, Sambhaji allotted Akbar II land to erect the Namazgah. Today, the Namazgah shares its historically-important space with a mining ground.
