The Linga or Lingam (Hindu phallic symbol representative of Shiva) is the presiding diety of the Tambdisurla Mahadev temple. i was going around shooting pictures ad libtum all over the place with a bored guard sitting against a pillar reading a book. He suddenly looked up and said no photographs inside. Oh well, by that time I'd got all the photos I'd wanted. The Hindu festival of Mahashivratri is celebrated with great pomp and gaiety at this temple by local residents and there is said to be quite a turnout, despite the temple's remote location. The Tambdisurla Mahadev temple is relatively small compared to the average Goan temple. According to local legend, large king cobra is in permanent residence in the dimly lit sanctum sanctorum. Luckily for me, I did not meet this creepy reptile, nor did my travel companions who spent quite a long time praying in the sanctum and circum ambulating the Lingam. More notes and pictures of the temple appear elsewhere in this album. (see previous and subsequent pictures in this album).(Goa India, Nov/ Dec. 2022)
