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 Shet 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.
