Tambdi Surla Temple on Surla river bank.
Tambdi Surla Shri Mahadev Temple is a differently built in terms of its architecture and the stones used compared to other famous Temples in Goa.
The temple is in a remote forest area in Bhagawan Mahaveer wild life sanctuary about 40 km from Ponda town. Not a huge temple, but nicely located in midst of green.
The route is really nice stretch through green tropical forest. It would be much more green in monsoon I Imagine. The road is good.
The temple resembles the temples built in neighbouring state Karnataka. It dates back to 12th century and said to be built by Kadamba Dynasty kings.
View from the front of the temple. Garbagriha is dimly lit only by Jyoti, no electric bulbs i believe. Photography is not allowed in side the Garbagriha.
Though the main deity is Shiva there are other deities in the Mukhamantapa.
Nandi with out the head. May be due to vandalism.
Mukhamantapa with carved stone pillars.
Statue of Brahma on Gopura
Outside the temple, one can get some flowers for offering to god.
While in Goa if you are keen to look at some thing other than beaches, you come here and enjoy the forest and divine ambience.
