Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It took us almost 1 hour to reach this place from Candolim and the way towards it is really beautiful. The temple itself is situated near a hill at Narve near Bicholim.
There is a committee office nearby where we met the in-charge Mr. Morajkar Sir who was really delighted to tell us all the history of the temple, its association with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and current work.
As per the information, we received, this temple was built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1668 who himself laid the foundation stone. The temple has a Shivalinga. The idol of Bhagwan Mahadev is shifted to nearby Kalbhairav temple due to restoration work, but still it is possible to have darshan.

This Saptakoteshwar Mandir has a history right from the year 950, in the period of King Kadamba Dynasty. It has a very long history.
It is one of the most Auspicious place in India.
The Siva Linga of this Mandir was displaced, tried to destroy by enemies several times.
Today it is under Archaeology dept for maintenance & restoration work.
The local Trust has taken care of this Mandir very well for years.

Not really much to see here other than the temple and a lake. Nothing much nearby for options to eat as well.

The Saptakoteshwar temple at Goa is considered to be one of the six great sites of temples of Lord Shiva in the Konkan area. The temple was built by the King of the Kadamba dynasty around the twelfth century. Good architecture.

This an ancient temple I do visit on every Goa trip. Located in interior accessible by road. The temple is under renovation. They are using the old and local construction techniques of sand, lime stone jaggery mixture instead of cement. Later it will be paiting with local Kaavi art. The project is scheduled for 20 months.
Will be great to see the lost the glory once the work is complete.
There are two ancient caves at 10-15min walking distance next to lake.
