The Shri Murudeshwara Temple in Murudeshwara, Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka, India is one of the most spectacular Hindu temples on the Arabian Sea coast, dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple complex is renowned for housing the world's second-tallest Shiva statue, standing 123 feet (37.5 metres) tall on the scenic Kanduka Hill, with the sparkling sea as its backdrop. The towering Raja Gopura — a 20-storey entrance tower rising 249 feet — dominates the skyline and contains a lift for visitors to reach the top for panoramic coastal views. Legend holds that Murudeshwara is one of the places where fragments of the immortal Atma Linga fell, making it an ancient and deeply sacred site.
