Dear Colleagues,

Is it possible that no one on the List has access to Konkani descriptions of the Goan Basilica do Bom Jesus?

With sad regards,

Dear List, 

I am involved in the preparation of the supplement to the Official List of Polish Geographical Names of the World already published in 2005, by the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography (Główny Urząd Geodezji i Kartografii), Warsaw, Poland -  and accessible at: 

 
The supplement  - planned to be published as the Official List of Polish Names of Historical Monuments and Buildings of the World - is  to include formal names of selected important South Asian historical buildings/monuments; a provisional, not yet completed list, is accessible at:


Usually, I do not have problems in locating the formal, official names of geographical objects in India. 

The Basílica do Bom Jesus, however,  eludes me. What I come across is Borea Jezuchi Bajilika, as at:


Since the presumably Konkani name is already a transliteration, it cannot  serve as the basis for precise transliteration and the Polish transcription. 

What I need are VERY FORMAL names of the Basilica - both in Hindi and Konkani - such as those formally used and published in the Indian Catholic Church sources. 

If you would give me the names as they are written in Devanagari, I could easily transliterate them - using myself the ISO 15919 rules of Romanization. 

Thank you in advance for your kind help,
