GOA EXPLORED-TAMBDI SURLA TEMPLE

Hi once again,


one of the few exotic places i have seen in Goa & that mesmerised me is undoubtedly the Mahadeva Temple Of Tambdi Surla.

situated on the foothills of Anmod Ghat & on the bank of small Ragada river is this exotic temple which is built by the Kadamba Dynasty in 12 th century.

the temple is constructed in black basalt stone in Jain Style.this is the only temple left now in balck basalt.i am not sure but this style could be even Hemadpanthy as the temple top is incomplete.the temple has beautiful carvings on the stone.

the temple is situated away in dense green forest & when i visited last in monsoon it was a treat to watch this temple at the backdrop of Western Ghats & i could never forget the beautiful site.

the temple has three entrances which leads you to garbhagraha.the main festival here is Mahashivratri & lot of local devotees visit the temple.

from panajim this exotic place is almost 60 kms & 15 kms from molem.the road shows the directions to reach here & i am sure you will be mesmerised to see this black basalt beauty.

Bye
