Mahadeva temple in Tambdi Surla, is a 13th century monument nestled among the foot of Anmod hills in a small clearing. It is surrounded by dense growth of trees and a there is a small river flowing nearby. The Sivalinga inside the sanctum is intact though centuries have gone by but the Nandi facing the Lord here is headless. That does not deter devotees from offering worship to the Lord's mount.
The atmosphere in the inner portion of the temple is very strong and magical and a few minutes of meditation can purify the mind and soul.The brightly glowing oil lamps create a brilliant aura around the deity.
The temple is very small but the ornamental work on stone is marvellous. The intricate work on the ceilings, the pillars and tower looks fresh even today.The temple is believed to be built by Kadamba kings who ruled Goa between 12- 14th century.
Mahasivarathri is celebrated here in a grand manner and thousands gather at the temple to offer worship.
The temple is 65 kms from the capital city of Panaji- Goa
