  • Murudeshwar, being another name of the Hindu God
    is a town in the Bhatkal Taluk of Uttara Kannada
    district in the state of Karnataka that holds the
    worlds second tallest statue of Lord Shiva.
  • Famous for the Murudeshwara Temple here, the
    bewitching point is the Raja Gopuram that is 20
    storied tall covering average feet 237feet at the
    entrance of the temple and the Arabian Seat that
    is encircled on all the three sides of the
    temple.
  • This temple view is one of the gripping points to
    consider here because of its scenic significance
    of the shore.
  • Built on a small hillock named Kanduka, the prime
    sanctum of the temple holds the same quaint
    flavor with its exteriors renovated in
    contemporary style.

  • Right below the idol is a small cave that is dark
    most of the times and besides it, is a shrine
    dedicated to Shaneeshwara.
  • Also, at the foot of the statue is a temple
    devoted to Shri Rameshwara. All these are
    enclosed within the Raja Gopuram where there are
    two elephant statues that are believed to guard
    the temple.

The significance of the Temple
  • It is believed that Lord Shiva had given the Atma
    Linga to Ravana and the cloth covering the Linga
    was thrown at this spot.
  • This temple is believed to be Shivas one of the
    Pancha Kshetras with the remaining four to be
    Dharmasthala, Nanjanagud, Gokarna, and
    Dhareshwara.
  • Another noticing point is the mammoth statue of
    the Lord that is erected in such a way that the
    suns first rays fall on it.
  • The Gopuram that is on its exterior is said to be
    the second tallest Gopurams of all in the world
    with the first being the Srirangam Temple in
    Trichy, Tamil Nadu.

The Temples Chronicles
  • Every temple has an etymology and the chronicle
    of this temple dates back to the era of Ramayana
    where the demon king Ravana was tricked to save
    the world from him creating havoc.
  • The Atma Linga belongs to Shri Maheshwara and all
    gods pray to the Linga to attain immortality.
  • Knowing this, King Ravana did his penance for
    acquiring the Linga and Mahadeva had granted him
    but Narada on knowing the after consequences of
    the demon kings acquisition approached Lord
    Ganesha and explained him the scenario.

  • So, to confiscate the Lingam from him, Mahavishnu
    blotted out the sun to give the appearance of the
    dusk and eventually Ravana would perform the
    evening ritual but with the Atma Linga in hand,
    he was thinking to whom to give Lingam.
  • Sri Vinayaka tricked him by saying that he would
    call Ravana thrice and if doesnt respond then he
    would keep the Linga down.
  • He did as said and after Ravana coming to know
    what had happened, tried to uproot and destroy
    the linga.
  • Because of the force exerted by him, the head of
    the Linga got scattered to the present place
    Surathkal and the cloth covering the Linga to the
    present place Murudeshwar.
