It's said that back in the day when the Portuguese ruled the area, they quarried a huge rocky hill for their construction needs, and thus this cave came to be, though some geological forces also played a part in its formation. The fascinating features are the steps and hollows inside the cave. The roots of Banyan trees creep down the stone. When you visit, make sure the day is sunny, when the light through the ceiling has a near magical effect on the cave interior.
