Panaji, Dec 20 (PTI) President Ram Nath Kovind on the last day of his two-day visit to Goa on Sunday went to the renowned Mahalsa Narayani temple in Mardol, some 15 kilometers from here, and blessed a couple who were getting married there.
Kovind was in Goa to take part in several functions on Saturday to mark 60 years of Goa's Independence from Portuguese rule.
