Mahadeva Temple, Tambdi Surla
The Mahadeva Temple in Tambdi Surla, South Goa, is a remarkable 12th-century Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Nestled deep within the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary at the foot of the Western Ghats, this temple is a hidden gem of Goan heritage. Built in the Kadamba-Yadava architectural style, the temple is constructed entirely of black basalt stone, which was transported from the Deccan plateau.
The temple's design includes a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) housing a Shiva linga, an antarala (vestibule), and a mandapa (pillared hall) adorned with intricate carvings of elephants and lotus flowers. The temple's remote location helped it survive the Portuguese colonial period, making it one of the few ancient Hindu temples in Goa that remained intact.
