Bastora is a village in

North Goa, India. It is located on the outskirts of Mapusa
town. Green and still scenic, this is one of the many communities and villages that makes up mainly-rural, but fast-urbanising Goa.

Etymology

Bastora was earlier known as Bastodem, when it is believed to have been by the

Vijaynagara dynasties that ruled the region. Like the rest of the region of Bardez came under Portuguese rule some 33 years after Lisbon conquered the region now known as Old Goa
in 1510.
