Shri Nageshi Maharudra Temple

A temple in Ponda dedicated to lord Shiva, Nageshi a beautiful spectacle. It has made a name for itself as many devotees claim that after they prayed at the “swayambhu” or naturally made shrine to lord Shiva, many of their prayers were answered. It is said that a temple had been in this location for thousands of years and a cow herder found the idol of Shiva after witnessing one of his cows regularly showering milk in the area. This temple was also untouched by the Portuguese religious and cultural eradication during the 17^thand 18^th centuries. The temple is small and beautiful and has a convenient tank in the front. Many people cool off here during the summers.
