Kasarpal is a town in the Bicholim region of Goa, which is in the North Goa district.[1] It is about 14 km from the town of Mapusa.
The original name of the village is mentioned as Pallika in a Copper-plate inscription dated 1436 AD, which is in the possession of the Archaeology department of Goa. It was also known as Kasarpal because of its original inhabitants who were coppermiths. The village was later gifted to the Shetis by a certain Brahmin named Nagadeva. Kasarpal is the site of the 800-year-old Shri Kalikadevi Temple.[2]The village also houses shrines dedicated to Mahadev and Bhumika.
