Devil's Canyon
Devil's Canyon also known
as 'Devcharacho kond' that is suicidal for swimmers due to the slippery rocks,
strong undercurrents and unfathomed depth. However apart from all the
scientific and geographical explanation of the place, there is a age old story
that flows down through the word of mouth. The story about this place is that
everyday a villager used to ask the canyon's resident devil for fish by telling
him that he had to entertain some guests. The devil who was curious, one day
after following the villager saw him munching on the fish himself. He cursed
that from then onward no one will be able to catch fish in the canyon, as he
was furious at that time. Whether the curse still stands or no is the question
unanswered. However the road to devils canyon is ‘the road less traveled’.
The Devil's Canyon
situated near Molem at the Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary is now a famous spot in
Goa. In its jungles one can see some rare sightings of Black Panther and while
here one can also visit the Tambdi Surla Temple that is situated nearby. The
spot can also visited while on the way to or from the famous Dudhsagar
waterfalls.

Dudhsagar waterfalls
Dudhsagr
as we all know it has so many tales untold. When we break the word in
hindi (dudh) means milk and (sagar) mean ocean. Ancestors believe that’s
there was a princess who loved bating at the lake near dudhsagar.
Apparently she used to carry sweetened milk in a gold jug and drink it
once she was done bathing. One day while bathing realised that she is
being watched by a prince through the trees. red with embracement in
bathing attire she started pouring the sweetened milk form the jug. This
milk created a temporary blanket covering her body while the maids
hurried to wrap her with clothes. Its still believed that it is the
sweetened milk that gushes down the dudhsagar as a gratitude to the
virtue and modesty of the princess.
