Chandika temple is located around 15 km north from Guhagar. One has to travel to Veldoor (10 km away from Guhagar) and cross the Dabhol creek by launch to reach HarborDabhol on the north side. The temple is 15-20 feet underground in a cave. Electricity is forbidden inside; hence the only source of light is either lamps or candles, lit inside the caves. The idol of Goddess Chandika is swayambhoo (self-borne), which is taken to be existent from the era of the Pandavas. The idle was discovered only 300 years back. Outside the temple is a tomb, dedicated to the discoverer of this temple.
