Tambdi Surla Mahadev Temple

                 


                            Tambdi Surla Mahadev Temple is a must-visit destination if you’re interested in exploring the ancient beauty of south Goa. Tambi Surla temple was built in the 12th century during the Kadamba period. According to the locals, it is the oldest temple in the state. Established in the Jain-inspired architectural style, Tambi Surla is entirely constructed with black basalt.

                            The inner sanctum of the Tambi Surla temple had a sublime Shiva Linga and a headless statue of Lord Shiva’s Vahana (vehicle) Nandi. There’s also a local legend associated with this temple. Locals believe that a huge cobra resides in the temple’s dark corner to this day.



                            Inside the temple, you’ll witness elaborate carvings of Lord Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma and their consorts. Along with this, the Kadamba Empire scenes depicted on the panels and columns of the temple will be a treat to your eyes.

                            The best part about Tambi Surla temple is its nearby River Surla. The river enhances the beauty of the temple and its surroundings a million times more. Tambi Sura is most popular among tourists during the Mahashivratri festival.
