Lamgau Caves Goa

Lamgau Caves are cut out of laterite, which is fairly fragile. Palm trees have secured the hollows with plenitude. One of the two gives in here has a wonderful structure in the sanctum that resembles a structure. Indeed, even the roofs and pillars have been cut with much commitment. The other give in is bigger, and has a rough course. A Shiva Lingam, Tulsi and a little picture of Nandi is introduced in the yard of this buckle. These caverns are one of the significant attractions of Goa and are situated in Bicholim, 25 km from Panaji.

The one nearest to Lamgau is small but quite artistic in design. A distant view is impossible due to the growth of areca palms in front of the caves. A small stream adds to the silent atmosphere all around. In this cave, there is a stone linga installed with a tulsi vrindavan and a small nandi bull image in the simple courtyard. The other cave is much more larger and used mostly as a shelter against monsoon and is quite deep with a complicated passage. There are some huge open cast iron ore mines just above the caves wherein the odd rumbling reminds one of the other side of Bicholim town. All along the journey to Mapusa is made more interesting with the presence of many more delightful temples and villages.
