The Brahma temple in Goa was originally located at Carambolim (Karmali) near Panjim. After its sacking by the Portuguese in the 16th C, the idol was moved to its current remote outpost and re-consecrated. Later, in a nod to its original home, the area around it came to be known as Brahma-Karmali.
During the Portuguese invasion and subsequent rule of Goa around five centuries back, the idol was taken out of the original temple at Karmali alias Carambolim village on the island of Tiswadi. The idol was later installed at Sattari and then at Valpoi and finally at a small shrine at Nagargaon, on the banks of a stream in a dense forest.

Sattari came under the Portuguese rule only around 1773-5. Before that, these were lands under the feared Ranes. The Portuguese army had to rethink a hundred times before even contemplating attacking these areas as they faced many humiliating retreats against the swift moving Rane armies. This factor rendered these places safe for establishing the many deities which had to take flight from their original locations.
Similarly, this Brahma idol was shifted from Carambolim (Karmali) to Nagargao, Sattari to save it from religious persecution. The village was then named after this as Brahma-Karmali or Brahma-Carambolim. It is said that the original name of this ward was ‘Chandivde’.

The liberal minister of Portugal Marquez de Pombal, as a result of a measure of reform passed in September, 1774, rendered the Inquisition practically defunct and it was finally abolished in 1820.
He abolished slavery in Portugal and in the Portuguese colonies in India; reorganized the army and the navy; and ended discrimination against different Christian sects in Portugal.
Banning of religious Christian orders in Goa & Portugal
Most importantly, He also banned the various religious orders in Portugal which he felt had too much influence & power. Also their corruption & manipulation of the economy.
The same happened in Goa. ( These were the driving force for the inquisition) and at one time had more power than the viceroy or King.
These religious orders could have even put the Viceroy of Portuguese India or even the king on trial if they felt compelled.
