Once a hindu place of worship dating back to 5th C AD till the Portugese arrived in 1534 when they damaged the hands and faces of almost all the statues during target practice. Was there an ulterior motive? The Portugese left these islands in 1661 when Charles II of England married the King of Portugal's daughter. The islands as part of her dowry, created a corner of the British Empire.
