Chandreshwar Bhutnath Temple

India / Goa / Quepem /
The Shri Chandreshwar Temple atop the Chandranath Hill dates from the pre-Christian era, when this region formed part of the Boja capital of Chandrapur (today's Chandor). The famous Shiva Linga is lit up by moonlight on the full moon night, and is said to become mystically bathed in water. Sri Chandreshwar or God of the Moon is so placed as to offer the visitor a wonderful view of the green valley below.
Best approached from the northerly side. A road leads up from near Paroda almost to the top of the hill and you can ascend by scooter ricksha. It is possible to climb up from the southerly side near Veroda, but the path is steep and hard to find. You need a local guide.
