'''Borim''' or '''Bori''' is a [[census town]] in [[Ponda taluk|Ponda]] taluka, [[North Goa district]] in the state of [[Goa]],<br />
[[India]] on the banks of [[Zuari River]].<ref>[http://wikimapia.org/#lat=15.365997&lon=74.011063&z=15&l=0&m=a&v=2&search=borim Borim on wikimapia]</ref> It has a land area of 1536.07 acres and has a population of 8,257. The village has a rich history dating back to the 12th century [[Kadambas of Goa|Kadamba era]], when the Kamleshwar temple was built at Deulwada by the Kadamba queen, Kamaladevi.<br />
The name '' Bori'' is etymologically derived from the word '' Bora'' (Indian berry, zizyphus). It is said that the village had many Indian berry or "Bor" trees at some point. ''Badrigram'', a Sanskrit version of the village name, also alludes to the Indian berries, known as ''Badri'' in Sanskrit.<ref>http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/the-village-that-inspired-a-goan-poet/articleshow/57622247.cms</ref><br />
