Sri Vijayadurga is a Hindu goddess of varying importance in Indian culture and tradition. She is said to have intervened in a battle between Shiva and Vishnuthem, and gone to Shankwali to kill the demons harassing the Brahmins there. When she destroyed all the demons in Sancoale she earned the name of Vijaya and was given the name Vijayadurga. She is a form of the goddess Durga. The temple of Vijayadurga was once located in close proximity to Shri Shankleshwari Shantadurga and Shri Lakshminarsimha in Sancoale but moved to Kerim, Ponda Taluka - Goa.
