The Mahadev Temple

The Mahadev Temple in Kurdi (Goa) is a 10th Century Temple.

This is a transplanted temple. Originally it was 17 kms south of the present location in Kurdi Angod on the bank of the river Netravali.

The Construction of the Dam across Salaulem had threatened the submergence of the temple hence it was systematically dismantled and re-constructed at this place providing similar topographical setting.

The Temple consists of a square Garbhagriha with a porch in front. Super structure is built of Laterite and Basalt stone. The main Lord worshipped was Shiva Linga which is now housed in Someswara Temple in Kurdi.

Situated in the lush green scenic beauty of Goa. This historical place is a place of visit when you visit the Salaulem Dam.
