3 These Hindu Temples attract devotees from all over India . Most of the temples are noted for their architectural design and distinctive Deepa Stambha or lamp tower at the gate and the sacred water tank. In the 16th Century, when Portuguese persecution was at its peak and temples were being destroyed, deities from ancient shrines were taken out to a safer place into the adjoining area of Antruz Mahal now called Ponda. The temple depicted here is one among them known as "Manguesh Temple". It is located in the revenue village called Priol in its hamlet known as Mangueshi, amidst picturesque green surroundings on Panaji-Ponda National Highway and about 20 kms.

4 From the capital of Goa State Panaji. Though, small in size its overall outline with elegant tower is richly endowed with elegance. At its entrance stands a gateway (Mahadwara) leading to a long paved corridor like avenue lined with few trees of religious tradition. The lamp pillar (Deepa Stambha) at its front facing the deity and the water tank (Tali) are the typical examples of Hindu Temples architecture in Goa. The temple is considered to have been built in the middle of the 16th Century and is known as the oldest temple dedicated to Lord "Shiva" (Mangesh), the most influential deity of the Trinity.

5 Regarding the origin of the deity, it is believed that the same was shifted to its present place around 1565 from "Kushasthali" now known as Cortalim situated on the left bank of the river Zuari in Mormugoa taluka of South Goa District. The shifting of deity from Cortalim to Mangueshi was done during the religious conversion campaign launched by the Portuguese on a mass scale as soon as they occupied Salcete and the adjoining areas of South Goa District.

7 It contains both Census and non Census data of urban and rural areas for each District. The Census data provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the lowest administrative unit of each Village, Town and Ward of the District. The Primary Census Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census data including data on household amenities collected during 1st phase of the Census House Listing and Housing Census . The non Census data presented in the DCHB is in the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on various infrastructure facilities available in the village and town viz; education, medical, drinking water, communication and transport, post and telegraph, electricity, banking, and other miscellaneous facilities.

8 Later on, the Telegraph Services were closed by the Government of India on 15th July, 2013. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at the grass-root level. 2. In the 1961 Census , DCHB provided a descriptive account of the District, administrative statistics, Census tables and Village and Town Directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to Village and Town Directory, Part-B to Village and Town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, District Census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of Villages.

9 The 1981 Census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained Village and Town Directory and Part-B the PCA of Village and Town including the SCs and STs PCA up to Tahsil/Town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were added. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent Village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. 3. The pattern of 1981 Census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except the format of PCA.

10 It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census . In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 Census . One of the important innovations in the 1991 Census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of Village Directory and PCA data instead of the traditional Tahsil/Taluk/PS level presentation.
