Murdeshwar Temple, located in the coastal town of Murdeshwar in Karnataka, is renowned for its majestic 123-feet tall statue of Lord Shiva, which is one of the tallest in the world. Perched on a small hill called Kanduka Giri and surrounded by the Arabian Sea on three sides, the temple offers breathtaking views and a serene spiritual atmosphere. The temple complex is dedicated to Lord Shiva and houses the Murdeshwar Lingam, believed to be a part of the original Atma Linga. The towering Raja Gopura, an ornate 20-storey entrance structure with an elevator for panoramic views, adds to its architectural grandeur. Murdeshwar is not only a pilgrimage site but also a popular tourist destination for its scenic beauty and religious significance.
