There  sits a history of the Curdi village in South Goa – a land steeped in mystery that emerges from its watery veil only once a year.

Once a bustling settlement, Curdi is now submerged  under water, only to dry up and surface during summer.

Salaulim Dam was proposed to provide water to South Goa. The consequence -  Curdi would sink under the water that overflowed.
