MAHADEV TEMPLE, Tambdi Surla is a twelfth century Shaivite sanctuary of the Lord Mahadeva and a functioning spot of Hindu love. It is remarkable as the most seasoned sanctuary in Goa, India.
The sanctuary was worked by Hemadri, the clergyman of the Yadava King Ramachandra. The Jain style development has prompted banters about the starting points of the sanctuary, since the Kadamba Dynasty ruled Goa between the tenth and fourteenth hundreds of years. The sanctuary is worked in the Hemadpanthi style from basalt, conveyed over the mountains from the Deccan level and cut skilled workers. It is viewed as the main example of Kadamba-Yadava design in basalt stone saved and accessible in Goa.
The four columns, adorned with mind boggling carvings of elephants and chains bolster a stone roof beautified with finely cut Ashtoken lotus blossoms. The complicated carvings made by talented skilled workers decorate the inside and the sides of the building. Bas-alleviation figures of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma, with their individual consorts show up on boards along the edges of the sanctuary. Abnormally, the mandap is secured with a top of plain dark slanting pieces. The sanctuary faces east with the goal that the main beams of the rising sun sparkle on the divinity.
The stream Surla streams adjacent and is reachable for custom washing by a trip of stone advances. The celebration of Mahashivratri is praised with pageantry and joy at the sanctuary by nearby individuals dwelling in encompassing towns. The sanctuary is worked in a place which is very difficult to reach and far from the primary settlements of the time. The sanctuary is little contrasted with the normal Goan sanctuary.
