Cave Of Siddhnatha, Surla ( Bicholim ) - History details

A small lateritic rock‑cut cell near Surla revered as a Shiva shrine, with a square yoni‑pitha and linga; stylistically dated to the early‑medieval period. The porch with pillars opens to a simple courtyard carved from the same rock. Local lore links it to siddhas’ meditation, echoing North Goa’s cave tradition (Arvalem/Rivona). Visit on Mahashivaratri for lamps and chants; respect the sanctity and keep visits brief.
