  3. Clan records show that Kushte family although migrated to Ratnagiri & Sindhudurg, continued naming their children in typical Konkani style ending with Shet. Some names go as following- Vishram Shet, Gana Shet, Babi Shet, etc. In later days however they have just adapted Kushte as a last name.

  6. Cortalim or Kutthalle formerly known as Kushsthale. (transition from kushtahalli to kutthalle) It was the first place that underwent Goa Inquisition & also a major port of Portuguese in India for trade. It was home to‘Kaivalya Matha’ which was later shifted near Bandoda/Bandivade Adjacent to this stands a place named Koste indicating Kushte being alternate name for Cortalim and as the people migrated from there to this place in Kavale, it got its name.
  7. In year 2000 a Kaul Prasad at Shree Shantadurga Devi of Kavale & Shree Kamakshi Devi Shiroda, said that “Shree Kamakshi Devi is kuldevi of Kushte & they haven’t visited her for a lot of generations”. Since then Kushte(s) from various places annually visit Shree Kamakshi Devi temple at shiroda.
