The curse of the Queen de Chandor
"The people of Cavorim, Chandor were happy and prosperous, when suddenly one night the city was invaded by the enemy who murdered the King and many of the inhabitants. The princesses and the ladies of the Court destroyed their jewels and committed suicide by drowning themselves into the river, which, it is popularly believed, still leaves gold powder on the shore. The tradition associated with the Fort is that the Queen who was absent in some other part of the Kingdom, visited the city one day, but found it in desolation and was given the sad news of her husband' demise. As a sign of her grief she removed her jewels, crushed them and threw them all over the place, and cursed the women of Chandor, wishing them all to be like herself. She came out of the fortress and, stamping her feet four times, said she would not take away any thing, not even the dust of her feet from the city..". The stone bearing the anklet-prints is located near the Chapel of St. Joaquim,the curse of the 'Stone', is still dreaded by the villagers of Chandor, as it is believed to be striking a particular caste of Chandor. It has not affected the population of other castes in this village. The fear of the curse goes to such an extent that it is understood that several landlords of this caste have taken up residences in Margao or elsewhere and their palatial houses are deserted. The curse of the Queen, as taken from one of the old residents of Chandor and transmitted through generations by word of mouth, is believed to be worded."
