Mahadev Temple at Kurdi. The temple was translocated brick by brick when the locals learned that the village would be submerged due to Salaulim Dam.

Temple (dedicated to Mahadev), archaeologically dated to the 10th–11th century of the Kadamba period, at Curdi, Angod, was relocated to a site 17 kilometres (11 mi) away. The relocation was done by dismantling of the original temple and then reassembling it at the new location after methodically numbering each stone, over a period of 11 years.
