Wadi-Talaulim

The village is bordered by Borim, Durbhat and Quela on one side and the Zuari river on the other.

Both, Wadi and Talaulim have many temples, dedicated to Hindu deities like Narayan Dev, Hanuman, Ganpati, Krishna, Shree Bhutnath, Mahalaxmi and Sateri Ladbai.

Most residents of Wadi-Talaulim are originally from Salcete’s villages of Loutolim, Colva, etc.

During the initial years after the Portuguese conquest of Goa, many of the residents of the villages of Salcete (which was a part of the Velhas Conquistas) shifted to Talaulim, to escape religious persecution and the mass Christianization of Goa.

Wadi-Talaulim also has residents from Canacona, who shifted here many years after the Velhas Conquistas for a variety of other reasons.
