80 years back, our ancestors at tambdi matti Pirazona, Moira Bardez Goa had started a religious ceremony by establishing a small temple of Shri Shantadurga Ravalnath Rashtroli Panchayat,

The said religious ceremony is carried on every year and several religious programs takes place during the 4 days of Vad-diwas

In 1980, a small temple was renovated by Mr. Gurudas M. Raikar and after that in 1996, the complete temple was built by the local devotees of Pirazona, Moira and lord Ravalnath statue was inaugurated.

In 2010, again the full temple was demolished and rebuilt again by the devotees and at the same time, the land where temple is located was donated by Mr. Philomeno Noronaha, owner of that land, free of cost to the devasthan committee.

In 2019, a hall was constructed where almost 700 people's function can be celebrated.

And many more activities are carried out for the full year

Our lady of Lourdes Chapel is situated on hilly plateau in Calizor ward, the area admeasuring 12,249 square meters. As per the plan No. 12517 of the Comunidade or Moira.

The chapel was originally meant for the two wards of Attafondem and Calizor. It was built by the inhabitants of the two wards. Raim ward became part of the chapel much later in the 1950s as per the archives evidence. Presently the three wards affiliated to the chapel of Lourdes are Attafondem, Calizor and Raint. The ward Calizor seems to derive its name from the reflection of the black clay that forms at the bottom of the rivulet that marks a large part of its boundary. And Attafondem stands for the nature of its fields that do not allow the use of plough and require ‘hat foddni’ or the use of hand implements to till the ground.
