Kuladevatha's Of GSB'S

One can notice that the Kuldevatas mainly belong to the Siva or Shakti cult. The saraswats established many Kuladevata temples in Gomantak. Among the oldest Saraswat Temples in Goa are the Mangeshi temple of Priol, the Shanta Durga Temple at Kavale, the Ganapati temple at Khandole, the Maha Laxmi temple at Bandewade and the Sri Nagesh Maharudra Temple at Bandora. After the Muslim and Portugese invasion of Goa many saraswats fled and migrated to the South carrying their Kuldevatas also. These groups lost the contacts with their origins in Goa and were without an effective spiritual leader. With the spread of Dwaita philosophy, under the influence of Sree Madhwa Acharya, most of the Saraswat Brahmins in South accepted Vaishavism and Vishnu or Krishna became their principal deity. The kuladevatas which belonged to the Siva and Shakti cult were slowly forgotten or neglected.
