Places To Visit :
Cozy
Canopy: Natural thicket formed by the roots of trees and shrubs. A cool and
shady area to relax, unaffected by the sun’s heat at any time of the day.
Mystery Creek: A crack in the rocks formed by an earthquake several
million years ago. It is believed that Lord Narasimha made his way through this
long creek leading to a cave near the temple, which is how the temple was named.
This is a good place to spot otters, locally called “ Neer Nai”.
Narasimha Temple: A temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha built several
years ago on the top of the island. Devotees visit this temple shrine for an
annual yatra in January.
Abandoned Tower: Built years ago with the idea of utilizing it as a
lighthouse. Another neighbouring island (Devgad Island) deeper into the sea was
found more suitable and hence this tower was abandoned. The suitability of this
tower to hoist a windmill and generate adequate power for the island’s needs is
being considered.
Fort walls & Canons: Many kings of different dynasties, including those
of the Vijayanagar Empire, Bijapur and Sonda kings, have ruled this island. In
AD 1705, Basalinga Nayak of Sonda fought a battle with the British from this
island.
