The Hindu festival of Mahashivaratri will be celebrated on February 12 this year.
The 12th C temple of Mahadeva (another name for Shiva) set in a remote forest at Tambdi Surla is Goa‘s oldest surviving temple. It remains a place of active worship to this day.

Dear Rajan
As always a spectacular presentation. Such a fitting abode for the Mahadev.

You have got it in its best glory !
I love how you mention that the greenish tinge is the result of the wet temple reflecting the foliage. Wonderful picture and words.

Thanks Rajan for that really nice photograph. I saw this temple as a little child. It is good to see that the greenery is still there.
