Goa’s most iconic ancient stone temple, set in forested surroundings and famous for its black basalt Kadamba-style architecture. The small, finely carved sanctum and mandap feel intensely atmospheric—especially because the temple sits away from busy settlements, making the visit feel like stepping into early medieval India.
