Margao from Vasco da Gama.Margo is the Portuguese spelling with Madugo being used in Konkani. It is known as Madgaon in Marathi. It is derived from the Sanskrit Mahagrm which means a village with a matha. The oldest math of India, the Kavale math was here which was destroyed by portuguese. Kavele math Gaudapadacharya swamiji inspired Sankaracharya to travel to north and rejuvenate Hinduism. In Ravanphond now a suburb of Margao there are shrines of Matsyendranath and Gorakhnath.[3] The abode of Nath medicants was called a Matha. Madagao was called Mathagrama on account of Vaishnavite Math belonging to Dvaita sect which was founded in the latter 15th century and shifted to Partagali after the establishment of the Portuguese power.[4]
