13th Century Mahadeva Temple at Tambdi Surla, Goa

 13th Century Mahadev Temple at Tambdi Surla, Goa

From Panjim to Tambdi Surla is about 40 Kms

Via Old- Goa, Ponda, Usgao, MRF, Sugar Factory, Bondla Road..

We were lost and drove straight on to Valpoi from there we turned back for upto 10Kms to take the Tambdi Surla Road which we missed earlier.  We made it just in time i.e. before 5.30pm which the the closing time.

Please follow the road signs, there are not enough though!

We also asked several persons on the way..

Mahadeva  (Lord Shiva) Temple of Kadamba era or pre Portuguese era.
