Curdi

Dongor, India

Curdi

Kurdi or Curdi is a village in Sanguem taluka of Goa. The village was submerged in the 1980s by the reservoir of the Salaulim Dam. Every year, at the peak of summer during April–May, parts of the submerged village rise above the water level for around one month. During this period, the original vill

agers come back to relive their memories and gather around their respective places of worship. Most of the villagers were rehabilitated to the nearby villages of Valkinim and Vaddem, and have since spread across Goa and beyond.
