Mahadev Temple, Tambdi Surla, Hindu temple in North Goa district, India
The Mahadev Temple features black basalt stone construction with intricate carvings depicting deities on its side panels and four decorated columns supporting a stone ceiling.
Built in the 12th century during the Kadamba period, this temple represents the only preserved example of Kadamba-Yadava architecture surviving in Goa.
The temple contains a Shivalinga mounted on a pedestal in its sanctum, with a headless Nandi statue positioned in the mandap area.
The temple stands within Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary, 65 kilometers from Panaji, with stone steps leading to the Surla River for ritual bathing.
The structure faces east, allowing dawn sunlight to illuminate the deity, while its remote forest location protected it from destruction during historical invasions.
