Lamgau ( Lamgao ) Buddhist Caves - History details

Near Bicholim, the Lamgau caves are small rock‑cut chambers (6th–7th c.) associated with early Buddhist practice and later Hindu use—one cell holds a Shiva‑lingam and tulsi altar, reflecting syncretic worship. Reached via village paths through palms and fields, the site offers a glimpse of Goa’s pre‑Portuguese religious landscape in laterite stone.
