In South Goa, in the idyllic surrounding of Rivona, live the Dravid Brahmins named Bakhle, Totekar, Karde and so on. In ancient times they worshipped their goddess Shree Shanteri in their green and beautiful village. One night one of these Brahmins had a dream in which the Goddess asked to be taken to Lotli and worshipped near Shri Ramnath. Needless to say the Lotlikars were overjoyed to welcome the Goddess to their Village. The Murti in the form of Shree Mahishasurmardini was installed with appropriate Vedic rites in a temple in Lotli.
