Visit the Atlantis of Goa Before it Disappears Again

Curdi lies in South Goa, submerged under the Salaulim reservoir since the 1980s. Every summer, as water levels drop, the village reappears — like a memory.

Over 3,000 residents were relocated when the dam was built. But their connection to Curdi never faded…

Fate of  The Residents

Every May, former residents return to pray, celebrate, and remember their lost home. Temples, wells, homes – all rise from the water.

Curdi's Return

✅ Someshwar Temple ✅ Laterite house remains ✅ Panchayat ✅ Ancient stepwell
